Patient's question:
I got sick in my second year of junior high, and now I'm already in my second year of college. The main symptom is bad breath, and it seems like there's always something stuck in my throat. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Helicobacter pylori infection is a major causative factor of chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and gastric cancer. The most important first step in treating Helicobacter pylori infection is to change toothpaste. The patient's cups and utensils should be disinfected with 84 solution on time, and mouthwash should be used in the morning and evening. The mouthwash should have a bactericidal effect, meaning its formula contains chemical agents, such as the main ingredients metronidazole, thymol, or a compound metronidazole solution. Eating acidic foods or drinking yogurt during medication can render the treatment ineffective. Patients also need to pay attention to maintaining proper dietary habits in daily life to digest nutrients effectively.
