Patient's question:
Long-term bad breath, which I don't feel myself, is something others have told me. I once coughed up a few small particles that smelled very strongly. My phone search said it was tonsil stones, how should they be treated?Doctor's answer:
In your case, having a damp-heat constitution means there is an excess of dampness in your body. Over time, this can lead to the transformation of dampness into heat. This condition should be treated with oral traditional Chinese medicine. You can take the following herbs:Dried Poria (Poria cocos) 30 grams
Raw Coix Seed (Job's tears) 30 grams
Combine these two herbs and decoct them into two doses for one day. Take twice a day.
If you are directly affected by bad breath, it is important to actively seek treatment and not avoid seeing a doctor. If the bad breath persists despite treatment, it is necessary to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
