Patient's question:
I have had bad breath since I was a child. I suspect I have tonsil stones. I always feel like there is something stuck in my throat. It's the same when I eat, and even when I take a nap, my ears hurt. This morning, I specifically used a flashlight to take a look and used a cotton swab to press my tongue. The pressure might not have been enough. I didn't see the white particles around my throat that are often mentioned online, but when I used the cotton swab to press the back of my tongue, the swab came out very smelly. There was also a thin layer of white coating on my tongue, and when I scraped it off, it smelled very bad. Is this a sign of tonsil stones, or what?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take Kangfuxin oral solution, azithromycin oral, and chlorhexidine compound for face washing. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water. In addition, during the treatment of bad breath, besides immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from bad breath.
