First, physiological factors:
If the patient only has symptoms of bad breath when he gets up in the morning, the symptoms of bad breath will disappear after brushing his teeth, then this is normal and no special treatment is needed. In addition, smoking and eating irritating food may also lead to bad breath. In this case, you can use light salt water or mouthwash to gargle, and the symptoms of bad breath can be relieved soon, so you don't have to worry too much.
Second, pathological factors:
Pathological factors mainly include oral inflammation, respiratory diseases and gastrointestinal diseases.
1. Oral inflammation: Oral inflammation mainly includes periodontitis, gingivitis, dental caries, oral ulcer, dental calculus, etc. All these diseases may cause patients to have bad breath symptoms. It is suggested that some drugs should be used under the guidance of doctors, such as metronidazole, tetracycline and compound chlorhexidine gargle. In severe cases, teeth may need filling or root canal treatment, or even teeth may need to be extracted.
2. Respiratory diseases: Respiratory diseases include chronic and suppurative tonsillitis, which should be treated with penicillin according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, gargle such as compound chlorhexidine and furacilin can be used to relieve the symptoms of bad breath.
3. Gastrointestinal diseases: Gastrointestinal diseases include esophageal diverticulum, reflux esophagitis, etc. It is recommended to use drugs to protect gastric mucosa and neutralize gastric acid under the guidance of a doctor, such as sucralfate and lansoprazole.
