To effectively eliminate bad breath and sour taste, a comprehensive approach is required:
1. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth at least twice daily for two minutes each time, and use dental floss and mouthwash for deep cleaning to reduce the formation of dental plaque and tartar.
2. Adjust your diet by reducing the intake of spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, and increase consumption of fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits to promote digestion and reduce gastric acid secretion.
3. If the bad breath and sour taste are caused by acid reflux, consider using medications to suppress stomach acid under a doctor's guidance.
4. Maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid staying up late, increase physical exercise to promote intestinal motility, which also helps improve bad breath and sour taste.
If bad breath and sour taste persist, it is recommended to seek timely medical consultation for thorough examination and treatment.
