Patient's question:
For 2 years, I have had halitosis and dry mouth, no constipation, pay attention to oral hygiene, prone to getting angry easily, and often get acne. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis can be congenital or pathological. If congenital factors are excluded, if you have never had this condition before, medication may be considered for treatment. If you have been experiencing symptoms of halitosis for a long time rather than recently recurring, treatment may be more challenging. If it is pathological, based on symptoms, it is likely a symptom of stomach heat. Overall, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is relatively effective, but it cannot be rushed. TCM treatment also requires a certain amount of time, and recovery is a gradual process. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and do not overconsume greasy and rich foods. Maintain a light diet and eat more vegetables and fruits.
