I recently discovered bad breath and it's very severe, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Lately, I've noticed I have bad breath, but I've been brushing my teeth several times a day, yet the bad breath still persists. What should I do? Why is this happening? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Improper diet, gingivitis, lack of attention to oral hygiene, nasopharyngitis, or gastrointestinal diseases are the most common causes of recurring bad breath. It is best to visit a hospital for a thorough examination in a timely manner. If it is not convenient to go, you can use metronidazole in combination with Sanhuang tablets. You can also drink more green tea regularly and avoid extremely cold, irritating, smelly, and hard-to-digest, greasy foods. In addition to active treatment, patients with bad breath should also maintain a proper diet and ensure proper digestion of nutrients in their daily lives.
