Patient's question:
Halitosis is severe, feels like poor digestion, acid reflux, and often the stomach makes gurgling sounds after eating. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
First, it's important to understand that halitosis is not caused by a single oral issue. It can be related to conditions such as pharyngitis, rhinitis, digestive problems, dental caries, and periodontal disease. All of these can potentially lead to bad breath, and it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and treatment to completely eliminate the problem. In fact, having halitosis is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the condition. As long as timely treatment is provided at an early stage, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
