Patient's question:
I am 23 years old, male, and every time I wake up from a nap, my mouth is dry and sticky, with yellowish saliva containing blood, and it leaves a particularly foul smell. This condition has been occurring for several years. In the past, I often thought it was gingivitis, but recently I realized that my gums are peeling off, though it is slightly better than before. The condition occurs very frequently. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, the category of TCM Yin deficiency and fire excess is equivalent to gingival atrophy in Western medicine. It is recommended to adopt TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment for conditioning. 1. Thoroughly brush and rinse your teeth in the morning and evening. 2. Cooperatively use antibiotics, such as cefixime. 3. Employ TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment for conditioning. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Zhibai Dihuang Pills and Qiji Dihuang Pills, while commonly used Chinese herbal medicines include Baizhi, Xixin, Shenggao, Xiakemu, Shengdi, and Huashi, etc. In fact, having bad breath is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
