Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have severe bad breath problem after taking fever medications for a week. Does it come from my stomach? Please help me, as I am embarrassed.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Bad breath is due to the destruction of good bacteria in the intestine by antibiotics. I suggest you try probiotics, such as Lactobacilli, thrice daily for two weeks. You will feel better.

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