Bad breath caused by indigestion can be improved through the following measures:
1. Adjust eating habits: Eat more easily digestible foods such as noodles and vegetable porridge, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Additionally, consuming moderate amounts of fruit or yogurt between meals can aid digestion and reduce bad breath.
2. Maintain regular meal times: Stick to a consistent three-meal schedule each day, avoiding delays in meal times by more than half an hour, to help the gastrointestinal tract establish a stable digestive rhythm.
3. Daily care: Rinse your mouth or brush your teeth promptly after meals to maintain good oral hygiene. Also, maintaining a regular sleep schedule and engaging in appropriate physical exercise can enhance immunity and help reduce bad breath.
4. Medication: Under the guidance of a healthcare professional, medications such as omeprazole enteric-coated tablets or cefixime dispersible tablets may be used to improve symptoms of indigestion and bad breath.
By comprehensively adjusting diet and lifestyle habits, along with medication when necessary, bad breath caused by poor digestion can be effectively alleviated.
