Patient's question:
I have bad breath for 5 or 6 years. I have a bowel movement every morning, which is quite urgent and somewhat incomplete. I also suffer from dry mouth. I have been to the dentist and there were no issues found. I have taken traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening the spleen, but it didn't help. I have also taken digestive aids, but they didn't work either. Tests showed no Helicobacter pylori infection. What should I do? What could be the actual cause?Doctor's answer:
Young woman, suffering from halitosis for 5-6 years, has already ruled out oral and digestive diseases. The possibility of psychological factors is considered to be high. Treatment suggestions: You need to adjust your mood, don't overthink, and engage in more activities to divert your attention. If necessary, see a psychiatrist. Daily treatment for halitosis patients mainly involves medication. Patients can use many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
