What are the reasons for bitter mouth, dry tongue, and bad breath?

Patient's question:

I have had this symptom for a long time. I feel bitter in my mouth, dry mouth, and bad breath, which I can sometimes even notice myself. It makes me feel embarrassed when talking to others. I don't smoke or drink, and my life is quite regular?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! bitterness in the mouth is caused by the inflammation of gallbladder fire or the overflow of gallbladder qi. You can take Chinese herbal medicine for treatment. Prescription: Chaihu (Bupleurum) 10g, Longdancao (Gentian) 6-10g, Shengmuli (Raw Oyster Shell) 15-30g, decocted in water, taken once daily.
Given that local doctors and patients are directly affected by halitosis, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If halitosis persists despite treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
