Patient's question:
After meals, I feel a burning sensation in my chest, a fast heartbeat, no acid reflux, and a burning sensation in my back, heat in my hands and feet, sweating on my back, dizziness, feeling very stuffy. Perhaps you might say, "Is it a heat condition?" But my tongue is white, and my stool is relatively wet and sticky. Additionally, I've been feeling bloated all the time with no sense of hunger, and there's always a strong sour odor in my mouth. The taste is very heavy, as if it's coming from my tongue. My mouth and tongue are very dry, with a thick white tongue coating, and halitosis. How can I treat halitosis?Doctor's answer:
It could be gastritis or a peptic ulcer, esophagitis. It's best to undergo an endoscopy to clarify the condition of halitosis. The patient's condition is quite serious, and it is recommended to start treatment immediately. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.With symptoms of halitosis, this condition may be caused by inflammation in the mouth or an excess of stomach fire. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the cause before symptomatic treatment. It is advised to first visit the dental department of a regular hospital for examination. Additionally, it is important to brush and rinse the mouth frequently. If the halitosis is caused by an excess of stomach fire, attention should also be paid to self-care, including proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition.
