Patient's question:
For over a decade, my halitosis has become increasingly severe. I have visited dentists, gastroenterologists, and hepatobiliary specialists, and have taken a lot of Western and traditional Chinese medicine. Sometimes I work overtime and don't eat much spicy food or meat. How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis is the foul odor emitted from the mouth. To treat halitosis, adopting a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) approach of syndrome differentiation and treatment can fully leverage the advantages of TCM and Chinese herbal medicine in treating halitosis. Additionally, integrating modern Western medical treatments to implement effective physical interventions can help re-regulate the body's functions, stabilize microcirculation, enhance metabolism and cellular tissue regeneration, boost cellular immunity, prevent the recurrence and infiltration of toxins and pathogenic factors. This comprehensive approach can improve treatment efficacy, shorten the duration of therapy, and achieve effective relief from halitosis.
