What Should I Do About Bad Breath in the Morning?
Heavy breathing in the morning can be caused by reduced saliva secretion, gingivitis, chronic gastritis, and other factors. Treatments include replenishing water and taking oral medications.
Reduced Saliva Secretion: Generally, a large amount of water is lost from the body during the night, and saliva is also relatively low. If water is not replenished in a timely manner, it can lead to dry mouth, reducing the self-cleaning ability of teeth and causing heavy breathing. It is important to brush teeth before going to bed at night and replenish water promptly to improve this condition.
Gingivitis: It may be caused by poor oral hygiene or plaque infection. When plaque corrodes food particles in the teeth, it can lead to bad breath, gum swelling, bleeding, and other symptoms. Patients can undergo cleaning treatment.
Chronic Gastritis: It may be caused by overeating or Helicobacter pylori infection, leading to insufficient gastrointestinal motility. When food stays in the intestines for a long time, it produces a fermented odor, causing bad breath accompanied by abdominal pain, bloating, and other symptoms. Patients can use medications such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules, Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Tablets, and Pantoprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Capsules under the guidance of a doctor.
Besides the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by gastric ulcer, etc. Patients are advised to seek timely treatment.
