Patient's question:
In the morning, my saliva is cloudy with a small amount of bloody discharge, and I have severe bad breath, bitter taste in the mouth, and long-term chronic tonsillitis with frequent ulcers. I want to ask if frequent dry mouth, bitter taste, bad breath, and easy ulcers in the mouth are related to internal organ problems?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis is generally caused by local oral factors and poor gastrointestinal function and digestion. The reasons for dry mouth and bitter taste include unreasonable diet, excessive consumption of spicy and salty foods, high stress, irregular lifestyle, insufficient sleep and rest, excessive smoking, and alcoholism. Eat a light diet, avoid foods with strong, and do not consume overly salty foods. Have a light dinner that is easy to digest, eat only until you are 60-70% full, and develop the habit of rinsing your mouth after meals and brushing your teeth before bed. Quit smoking and drinking, ensure adequate sleep, and maintain a good mood.
