Patient's question:
Halitosis has been a problem for several years, and it has been getting worse recently. I often have bowel movements only every few days. How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for bad breath, such as oral diseases, nasal and pharyngeal diseases, or digestive disorders like indigestion and gastritis. Based on your situation, bad breath is likely related to constipation. You can take Huoxiang Qingwei tablets, eat more fruits and vegetables, and consider using laxatives for severe constipation. Methods like applying glycerin suppositories or using Kao can also be used to improve bowel movements.For patients with bad breath, daily treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic relief. They can take various oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods.
