Why Do I Experience Stomach Pain, Dry Mouth, Bitter Taste, and Bad Breath?

Stomachache, dry mouth, bitter taste in mouth, and bad breath are often considered to be caused by improper diet, but may also be due to damp-heat in spleen and stomach, hyperactivity of liver and gallbladder fire, and other reasons. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly for examination and receive targeted treatment after clarifying the cause of the disease.

If necessary, one can also take medicines such as Xiangsha Yangwei Pills and Fuzi Lizhong Pills under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Damp-heat in spleen and stomach

Under the guidance of a doctor, one can take medicines such as Shenling Baizhu Powder and Renshen Jianpi Pills for treatment. Additionally, cupping therapy can be used as an auxiliary treatment.

3. Hyperactivity of liver and gallbladder fire

If one stays up late for a long time or is overly depressed, it may lead to hyperactivity of liver and gallbladder fire, causing the above symptoms.
