Q. What is the reason for foul smell in my mouth? What can be done?
Hello doctor,
I have been experiencing a foul smell in my mouth since a few years. This may be due to an unclean stomach. Please, can you prescribe me some medication to clean the stomach? Also, whatever I eat does not nourish my body. Can I know the reason?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Bad breath or halitosis most commonly originates from the oral cavity or nasal passages.
- Periodontal disease, caries, acute forms of gingivitis, poorly fitting dentures, oral abscess, tongue coating, and sinusitis are common causes.
- It can also originate from the gut.
- Since your halitosis is of a chronic origin, I would suggest you undergo an endoscopy. Treatment will proceed accordingly.
Regards.
