Patient's question:
I often have a bad smell in my mouth, not sure if it's what's called halitosis. As a girl, this is very embarrassing. So I haven't gone to the hospital yet. Not sure if it's because my stomach isn't doing well?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis is often caused by the transmission of anaerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria in the mouth or digestive tract. For diseases in the oral cavity, digestive system, respiratory system, etc., that can cause halitosis, Tinidazole or Metronidazole can be taken. This is a medication for treating anaerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria. Drink as much green tea as possible, as green tea has the effect of inhibiting bacteria and cleaning the mouth. Patients with halitosis can use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment while understanding symptomatic treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily eating habits to avoid stimulating foods.
