How to treat chronic bad breath and bitter mouth that hasn't improved?

Patient's question:

Chronic bad breath and bitter mouth, lasting for three years without improvement. It's usually very foul and bitter in the morning, and I easily get irritated. How can it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Different types of bad breath indicate different pathological damage to internal organs. Severe bad breath, in addition to being particularly stubborn and difficult to eliminate, also suggests many diseases. If not treated early, it may lead to endless complications. Regardless of the cause of the bad breath, it is one of the high-incidence types of oral mucosal diseases and requires patients to pay attention and seek early examination of the cause in the oral mucosal department for targeted treatment. Moreover, adopting Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and regulation for treating bad breath is currently the main approach for addressing this condition.
