Patient's question:
It has been a long time, and I have dry mouth, bad breath, bitter mouth, excessive phlegm, constipation, and white, sticky tongue coating. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Constipation refers to the condition where feces remain in the intestines for too long, leading to an increase in bowel movement frequency, dry and hard stools, difficulty in defecation, or incomplete evacuation. If bowel movements occur daily but are difficult, accompanied by a feeling of incomplete evacuation, or accompanied by abdominal pain, they should also be classified as constipation. Pay attention to the following points:1. The intake of staple foods should not be too low; consume an appropriate amount of coarse grains.
2. Develop the habit of drinking yogurt daily. This can help digest probiotics and restore the balance of intestinal flora.
3. Avoid overly bland diets.
4. Eat more vegetables and fruits to digest dietary fiber.
For patients, if halitosis is severe, timely symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medications should be used.
