Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have mouth odour and taste of something wrong in my mouth. I scrap my younger every day thrice or more. Nothing affects me.

What to do?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to iclinq.com.

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can occur due to a number of causes, such as poor oral hygiene, oral and dental infections, post-nasal drip, sinusitis, acid reflux, respiratory infections, and diabetes. You should consult an oral physician or an otolaryngologist and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations depending upon suspected cause can help in diagnosis. Treatment of the underlying cause will relieve the symptoms. As of now, you should start gargling with a flavoured mouthwash twice a day. You should chew flavoured, sugar-free chewing gum. Do warm saline gargles twice a day. Limit the intake of high-aroma foods like onion and garlic. Drink plenty of water and maintain good oral hygiene.

I hope this helps. Take care.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
