What should I do if my stomach is swollen for a long time and I still have bad breath

Stomach distension and bad breath may be caused by physiological factors such as improper diet, or pathological factors such as indigestion, gastritis, and intestinal obstruction. Patients can be improved through daily conditioning, medication, etc.

1. Physiological factors

If you regularly eat gas-producing foods, such as sweet potatoes and soybeans, it may cause excessive gas in the stomach and intestines, resulting in bloating, and it will also be accompanied by symptoms of bad breath. It is recommended to adjust the dietary structure, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat less gas-producing foods, and the symptoms will gradually be relieved.

2. Pathological factors

1. Indigestion: If you don't pay attention to a reasonable diet, overeat or eat too fast, it is easy to increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, resulting in food that cannot be digested and absorbed in time, and fermentation in the intestines produces a large amount of gas, which causes the above conditions. You can take digestive drugs such as stomach digestion tablets and lactobacillus tablets according to the doctor's instructions.

2. Gastritis: Due to Helicobacter pylori infection, autoimmunity and other reasons, it will lead to inflammation of the gastric mucosa, usually with symptoms such as epigastric discomfort and loss of appetite, as well as belching and acid reflux. You can take omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, amoxicillin capsules and other drug treatments according to the doctor's instructions.

3. Intestinal obstruction: It is usually caused by mechanical reasons, dynamic reasons and other factors, and the common symptoms mainly include abdominal pain, vomiting, stopping gas and defecation, etc.If it is a simple complete intestinal obstruction, it can be managed by surgical removal of the obstruction; If it is strangulated intestinal obstruction, it needs to be treated by intestinal resection anastomosis, entero-short-circuit fistula, etc.

In addition, it may be related to ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and other diseases, and it is recommended to seek medical attention to determine the cause before symptomatic treatment.
