Patient's question:
This illness has been present since childhood, with symptoms of bitter and dry mouth. It should not be an oral issue. Everything I eat tastes very bitter and smells bad. Can halitosis be treated?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for bad breath, such as oral diseases, nasal and pharyngeal diseases, or digestive disorders like gastritis. It is recommended that you check if you have any stomach problems. You can try taking Huoxiang Qingwei Pian (a traditional Chinese medicine) and consume plenty of cooling foods to clear the heat. Avoid eating extremely cold, irritating, or pungent foods like garlic, onions, leeks, smelly tofu, as well as hard-to-digest and greasy foods. Additionally, during the treatment for bad breath, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient should pay close attention to their diet and eat more light foods to prevent unnecessary harm.
