Hello doctor,
I am 29 years old this year. I have had bad breath for many years, my teeth and sinuses are not affected. I went to the doctor and said that I had acid reflux, gastritis but I found that my stomach is normal, sometimes I have indigestion when I eat a lot of fat, I take a lot of western medicine but it doesn't go away. Ask your doctor to answer if bad breath is related to digestive diseases? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is bad breath related to digestive diseases? ", the doctor answered as follows:
Bad breath has many causes. Some causes can be treated, such as local diseases of the teeth, mouth, sinuses or diseases from other organs such as gastritis, respiratory infections. There are also situations where no specific cause can be found. Therefore, you should seek medical attention and treatment so that your doctor can help you find the cause and get the appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can practice the following: drink enough water, chew sugar-free gum, avoid alcohol and coffee, gargle before bedtime.
If you still have questions about bad breath, you can go to a medical facility of Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
