Patient's question:
In the morning, after brushing my teeth, there was no bad breath in my mouth, but after a few hours, it started to develop. How can I treat bad breath?Doctor's answer:
If you suffer from bad breath, you should pay attention to oral hygiene. If you have gastritis, periodontal disease, or cavities, you should actively treat the underlying causes. You must absolutely avoid smoking and drinking beer, and you must also avoid spicy foods like scallions, garlic, and chives. You can also chew some gum for a sweet and refreshing effect.Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that bad breath is often caused by kidney yin deficiency and the excessive rise of ministerial fire. Taking Zhibai Dihuang Wan to nourish yin and subdue fire is highly effective with long-term use.
For the daily treatment of bad breath, the focus is on symptomatic relief. Patients can take various oral medications, supplement with multiple vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
