What's going on with bad breath It's been two or three years
There are many causes of bad breath, which may be caused by physiological factors or pathological factors. If it has been going on for two or three years, you need to consider the possibility of oral diseases, digestive diseases, as well as respiratory diseases.
1. Physiological factors
1. Improper diet: such as often eating garlic and other foods with strong taste, or smoking and drinking alcohol for a long time, can stimulate the oral mucosa to secrete a large number of volatile substances, resulting in peculiar smell;
2. Poor lifestyle habits: If you do not pay attention to brushing your teeth and rinsing your mouth, it may lead to food residues remaining and fermenting in the mouth, and then bad breath will occur.

2. Digestive system diseases: such as gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, etc., due to the invasion of Helicobacter pylori, it may lead to gastrointestinal disorders, so that food can not be digested and absorbed in time, and after fermentation in the intestine, it will produce an unpleasant taste, which will reflux to the oral cavity through the esophagus and cause bad breath;
3. Respiratory diseases: such as sinusitis, tonsil stones, etc., due to pathogenic bacterial infection or foreign body obstruction, etc., will cause poor nasal ventilation, causing the patient to open his mouth to breathe, at this time, some impurities and bacteria in the air will enter the oral cavity, thereby causing bad breath.
In the presence of hepatobiliary disease, bad breath may also be caused by abnormal metabolism in the body. It is recommended to develop good hygiene habits in daily life, rinse your mouth in time after meals, and brush your teeth regularly in the morning and evening to help reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth and avoid the aggravation of bad breath symptoms. If you feel that you have symptoms of bad breath, you can go to the hospital for a check-up and clarify the cause before treatment.
