Patient's question:
Recently, my mom has always told me I have bad breath, and my friends have said the same thing. Sometimes when I talk to others, they always cover their noses. I also feel very dry in my mouth most of the time. I don't know if it's because my stomach isn't good or something else. I don't want to give others a bad impression, and I thought I hadn't washed my face. I haven't gone to the hospital for a thorough check-up to find out what's wrong yet.Doctor's answer:
This friend, halitosis is indeed caused by excessive stomach fire, which is greatly related to your poor living and dietary habits. Pay close attention to your diet when it comes to gastrointestinal issues. In your daily diet, try to eat less spicy foods and consume more cooling foods like kelp, winter melon, mung beans, and bitter gourd. In terms of medication, you can take Niuhuang Qingwei pills or Shuangkule. It is a medication that regulates gastrointestinal function and repairs damaged glands to treat halitosis by dissolving fecal deposits. These medications can be purchased at pharmacies.
