Patient's question:
At first, I didn't pay much attention, but it has been about two years now. Recently, I realized I have bad breath, and constipation where I can't go to the bathroom sometimes lasts two to three days, but sometimes it's even longer. I used to take medication, but after stopping it, it's the same as before. My dinner intake hasn't changed; I've always eaten a lot, but the amount I go to the bathroom is very little, which feels abnormal. Could the bad breath be caused by the long-term constipation where I can't go to the bathroom?Doctor's answer:
People with bad breath should regularly check for periodontal disease, dry mouth, or other conditions. Maintaining good oral hygiene, thoroughly addressing periodontal diseases, and having dental cleanings and scaling periodically can effectively reduce bad breath issues. Additionally, excessive stomach heat may also be a cause, in which case taking Niuhuang Qingwei Pills appropriately can help. Pay attention to drinking enough water, consuming more fiber-rich and vitamin-containing foods, eating foods that clear heat and detoxify, and maintaining a regular schedule.
