Patient's question:
My previous boyfriend had bad breath, and gradually, I also developed it after intimacy. My breath became foul as well. After a thorough examination of my nose, throat, and larynx, I was found to have swollen turbinates, postnasal drip into the throat, and no sinusitis on CT. I have chronic pharyngitis with follicular fibrosis. Besides mild gingivitis, my gums are often red, swollen, and ulcerated. I tested negative for Helicobacter pylori in my stomach. How should I treat this condition?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis may be caused by chronic pharyngitis follicular fibrosis or gingivitis. Based on your description, it is recommended to take Amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium and Niuhuang Jiedu pills for treatment and see if it helps. Pay attention to oral hygiene in daily life. In addition to treating halitosis, it is suggested that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
