Patient's question:
Patient is a 15-year-old female. She has been in good health previously and did not have bad breath, but she has always had thick, white tongue. Now she has had bad breath for a year and a half and also suffers from constipation. From a distance, others cannot smell it, but only up close can they detect it. What should she do?Doctor's answer:
In your case, I personally believe it is caused by abnormal gastrointestinal function. Gardenia, patchouli, and licorice have the effect of eliminating bad breath. You can also try taking Qingwei San to see if it works. Your diet should be relatively light, avoiding extremely cold, irritating, smelly, and hard-to-digest, greasy foods. Since the patient is directly troubled by bad breath, we should promptly implement the principle of symptomatic treatment and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the bad breath does not improve after treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
