Patient's question:
I am 21 years old this year, and I have had bad breath for eight years. I also suffer from gastric ulcers. When I get up in the morning, my mouth feels particularly foul, and I can't swallow saliva. It's like this every day. In the past, I had an endoscopy and took medication, but later, due to dietary reasons, my stomach often aches. However, I also have chronic tonsillitis. Is the cause of my bad breath due to the gastric ulcer?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you see a dentist. Most cases are caused by oral diseases, which could be: gingivitis, dental caries, or large tartar deposits. Generally, an ultrasonic scaling procedure can significantly improve the condition. You could also try chewing Huasuan tablets. However, this may also be accompanied by digestive issues. It is also advisable to see a gastroenterologist, as there may be stomach problems associated with digestive disorders. These issues need to be addressed. Additionally, a light diet and increased water intake are recommended. Beyond treating bad breath, it is suggested that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their overall health and speed up recovery.
