Patient's question:
I am currently immersed in the wonderful life of being in love. It's possible that in the beginning, my relationship with my girlfriend wasn't stable, and we haven't reached the point of being able to talk about everything yet. She has never picked me for any faults, but yesterday, after we had been together for about a year, she suddenly told me that my mouth smells bad. Although she is very close to me, hearing this still made me feel a bit embarrassed.Doctor's answer:
Halitosis has two causes: Second, excessive stomach fire and stomach yin deficiency, where the fire ascends and causes halitosis. In this case, one should nourish yin and clear heat. Third, impaired stomach and spleen transportation and transformation, where the stomach Qi does not descend leads to poor digestion, and retained food in the stomach causes halitosis. In this case, one should strengthen the spleen and regulate the stomach, enhance absorption function. See which situation you have. If halitosis is caused by excessive stomach fire, then spicy and warming stimulating foods should be avoided. If it is caused by poor digestion, easily digestible foods should be consumed. For severe halitosis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and treat according to the doctor's advice. Do not switch medications arbitrarily, otherwise the effect will be counterproductive.
