Halitosis, dry mouth, bitter mouth in the morning - what's the reason?

Patient's question:

I haven't spoken for a while, and I'll get bad breath. In the morning, I have dry mouth and bitter taste, and I still have a smell even after washing my face every day. What's wrong with having bad breath and dry, bitter mouth in the morning?

Doctor's answer:

If there are symptoms like bad breath, it should be due to neglecting oral hygiene in daily life, gum bleeding, poor gastrointestinal digestion, and other reasons. One should pay attention to oral hygiene. If suffering from gastritis, periodontal disease, or cavities, active treatment of the underlying cause should be pursued. Smoking and drinking beer are absolutely not allowed. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods like onions, garlic, and chives. Chewing gum that is sweet and pleasant to chew can also help. In addition to treating bad breath, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical health.
