Patient's question:
Every day, my mouth feels bitter, dry, and I have severe bad breath. I always feel like there's a smell in my mouth. When I went to the hospital, they didn't say anything about it, just said it was normal. For several days, I haven't had a bowel movement and don't know what disease is causing it. How can I treat bad breath?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that consuming rich, greasy, and spicy foods can easily lead to internal damp-heat accumulation, resulting in spleen dysfunction and the recurrence of the aforementioned symptoms. You can visit the spleen and stomach department of a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital and consult a doctor. Based on your symptoms, tongue coating, and pulse, the doctor can diagnose and provide personalized treatment. Additionally, your diet should be light and balanced.Halitosis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for proper treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
