Patient's question:
I have had bad breath for several years. In the past, when I ate lunch or dinner and the food was quite hot, I would feel flushed and hot. I searched online and thought that my bad breath might be caused by stomach fire. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis is a significant majority of the time caused by oral diseases, which may include: gingivitis, cavities, or large tartar deposits. Based on your condition, undergoing an ultrasonic dental cleaning can significantly improve the situation. It may also be accompanied by digestive issues, in which case you can consult a gastroenterologist. There may also be stomach problems accompanied by digestive issues or internal heat accumulation, in which case you can take Detoxifying and Beautifying Capsules.When patients face the harm of halitosis, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical consultation. If the halitosis does not improve after treatment, it is essential to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
