Hi
stress decreases salivation n aggravates halitosis.so plz avoid stress.
Also liver disorders may affect digestion of food n aggravate halitosis.
All u can do is to have a balanced diet ,plenty of water,good oral hygiene n frequent gargles.
Thnx
Hi,
Malodour or Halitosis is due to various reasons like poor oral hygiene, dental caries, diabetis, Tonsilitis, Pharyngitis,liver disorder, gastric disorders, consumption of alcohol, foods like garlic and onion tobacco chewing etc . Consult your physician to determine the functioning of your liver and the other causes given has to be ruled out also.
hi welcome to HCM.
Stress or nervous tension is a major enhancer of bad breath.POOR oral hygiene also causes bad breath.
foods or substances which often cause bad breath: garlic, raw onions, cabbage, horse radish, eggs,fish,red meat,cigarettes,alcohol and coffee.
.Medical risks for bad breath include bronchial and lung infections, chronic sinusitis, post-nasal drip, tonsillitis, untreated nasal polyps, diabetes, syphilis ,chronic liver diseases etc.
as u r having history of hepatitis you consult your physician to rule out that.maintain good oral hygiene,use artificial saliva if your mouth is dry,drink plenty of water,regular mouth wash.thanx bye
