Patient's question:
I washed my face and took out toothpaste, only to smell a very unpleasant odor. No one had ever told me before, and later I even found that my own saliva smelled bad. It must have been a long time since the illness started. My stomach also isn't doing well, and I often feel bloated?Doctor's answer:
Bad breath is based on the stomach; if the breath is strong, it indicates an excessive buildup of stomach fire. Treatment should focus on clearing the stomach fire. First, the diet should be light and not overly full; second, it can be supplemented with herbal medicine treatment, with the standard Qingwei San (Clear Stomach Powder) being commonly used.The doctor inquired: "Bad breath has a significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek timely medical attention. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care, such as eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding foods. It is hoped that patients with bad breath can receive professional treatment."
