Question 1

I've been dealing with really bad breath for a while now and just don't know what to do. My dentist checked and said there's nothing wrong with my mouth, but the bad breath is still there even after I brush. I brush three times a day, use mouthwash, and everything, but the smell just doesn't go away. It's super embarrassing when people keep their distance or cover their noses. Even when I'm a few meters away, they cover their mouths. It makes me feel so left out and embarrassed. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic bad breath, also known as halitosis. In cases where oral hygiene practices are not resolving the issue, it's important to consider other factors that could be causing the bad breath. One common cause of persistent bad breath is gastrointestinal issues such as acid reflux or gastritis. I recommend trying over-the-counter medication like Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks to see if it helps improve your symptoms. Additionally, you can try using a tongue scraper to clean your tongue, as bacteria on the tongue can contribute to bad breath. If the bad breath persists despite these measures, it would be advisable to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this really annoying throat irritation and my allergy AEC levels are over 700, which I'm guessing isn't great. What can I do to bring it down to normal? Are there specific foods I should be avoiding or maybe some that could help?

Accepted Answer

to help lower your AEC and reduce allergy symptoms, you should focus on managing your allergies through medications and avoiding triggers, while also incorporating an anti-inflammatory diet. Avoid foods that are high in histamine or common allergens, and try to focus on foods that support immune health and reduce inflammation.

If your symptoms persist or worsen, its always best to consult with an allergist or immunologist who can guide you through proper treatment options and help with any necessary allergy tests.

Question 6

My 2-year-old son was born with an ear pit in his left ear, and it's gotten infected. We've already gone through a 2-week course of antibiotics and used topical ointments, but there's been no change. What should be our next step?

Accepted Answer

Consult an ENT specialist or a pediatric surgeon for further evaluation and guidance, as recurrent infections in preauricular pits often require surgical excision to prevent future complications; they may recommend imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI to assess the extent of the pit and surrounding tissue, and discuss surgical options to remove the pit and affected tissue.
