Patient's question:
It has been two years already. Sometimes I feel like I don't have bad breath, but others say I do. My friends all say the same thing. Sometimes when I feel dry mouth, I can tell I have bad breath. Because of my bad breath, I was afraid to communicate with others at school. I have seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor before, and taking herbal tea helped, but it didn't solve the problem. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis is often associated with certain diseases, such as oral diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, etc. Patients with these conditions should first be diagnosed to determine if they have such diseases. Comprehensive prevention and treatment of halitosis should be carried out, while also maintaining good oral hygiene and adopting healthy dietary habits. For patients, if the halitosis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of halitosis. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
