Patient's question:
Halitosis began when I started suffering from chronic pharyngitis, and it has been about 3 years. I have taken many traditional Chinese and Western medicines to treat the pharyngitis, but none of them have been effective. Halitosis is really bothering me. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Your current condition is considered to be due to excessive stomach fire or dampness-heat in the liver and gallbladder, or caused by gingivitis, among other reasons. It is not closely related to chronic pharyngitis.Currently, you should pay attention to rest and nutrition, avoid spicy foods, and maintain good oral hygiene. You can take Amoxicillin, Sanhuang Pian, Xiaoyan Lidan Pian, and Longdan Xielaowan for treatment. There are many methods for treating bad breath, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to have a timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
