Patient's question:
In the morning, I had stomach discomfort and bad breath. I took Jiaonang of Weishuning, which is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its efficacy includes pain relief, stomach health promotion, and acid reduction. It is used for stomach pain, excessive stomach acid, stomach and duodenal ulcers, and chronic gastritis. However, how long should I take it to see effects? Can I take it half an hour before meals?Doctor's answer:
The main reason for bad breath is primarily due to weakened gastrointestinal function, which leads to prolonged retention of food in the gastrointestinal tract. Another cause is abnormal cooking of food. Other reasons include conditions such as gingivitis. It is recommended that you visit the dental department of a hospital for a thorough examination. If the bad breath is caused by dental issues, completely eliminating the disease will naturally resolve the symptom. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid excessive consumption of cold foods, engage in more physical activity, and consume more vegetables and fruits to promote intestinal movement and maintain overall health. During the treatment period for bad breath, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
