Patient's question:
What medicine should I take to treat bad breath? Besides dry mouth and bitter taste. My life and diet are irregular. What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
If you suffer from bad breath, you should pay attention to oral hygiene. If you have gastritis, periodontal disease, or cavities, you should actively treat the underlying cause. You must absolutely avoid smoking and drinking beer, and you must also avoid spicy and stimulating foods like onions, garlic, and chives. You can also chew some gum for a sweet and pleasant taste.Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that bad breath is often due to kidney yin deficiency and the uncontrolled rise of ministerial fire. Taking Zhibai Dihuang Wan to nourish yin and subdue fire is also an effective method. In addition to active treatment, patients with bad breath should also maintain a good habit of proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients well.
