Patient's question:
After eating, the bad breath is better for a while, but then it comes back. It's not caused by a stomachache, and my stomach doesn't feel uncomfortable either. I've had bad breath for over a year, and it might be due to Helicobacter pylori infection. If so, which department should I go to?Doctor's answer:
People suffering from bad breath often consume seaweed to completely eliminate it. Additionally, a light diet and eating more foods rich in fiber help clean the mouth. It is also advisable to consume foods that clear heat, dispel dampness, and remove foul odors. Examples include:- Chewing sweet melon seeds;
- Drinking fennel soup or chewing raw fennel;
- Frequently chewing orange cakes;
- Using perilla seeds to boil water for face washing;
- Chewing preserved plum fruits.
All of these methods are effective in reducing bad breath.
Reducing bifidobacteria in the gastrointestinal tract can help treat bad breath. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), isomaltulose, and other bifidobacteria factors are highly effective in treating bad breath.
If the condition of bad breath is severe, it is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment. Treatment should be guided by a doctor’s advice to address the specific symptoms. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
