I've had a bit of bad breath these two months, and I don't know what's going on
Bad breath for two months may be caused by non-pathological factors such as improper diet and poor oral hygiene, or it may be caused by pathological factors such as periodontitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients need to be treated according to the cause.

It is recommended to pay attention to a reasonable diet, mainly light and easy-to-digest food, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which can effectively improve symptoms.

Anti-infective treatment can be carried out with drugs such as metronidazole tablets and tinidazole tablets under the guidance of a doctor. If necessary, it can also be treated with ultrasound scaling, etc.
