Patient's question:
I don't know what happened recently, but I felt unwell and was quite uncomfortable. They told me to get checked, and my tongue was thick, white with small red spots. Besides the severe bad breath, my mouth would develop pus every so often. How can bad breath be treated?Doctor's answer:
The white and thick tongue indicates internal damp-heat, and the treatment formulas include Buzhong Yiqi Wan. Diet is most crucial; spicy and cooling foods should be avoided, as well as astringent herbs like yam and lotus seeds. Halitosis is a severe condition, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment. It is also important for patients to pay attention to their diet, such as eating moderately and maintaining a cheerful mood. At the same time, patients should choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to achieve good treatment outcomes.
