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?

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.

View allI've been having this stomach issue where I burp all day long, and it's driving me crazy. No matter what I eat or drink, even if it's just water, I end up burping like crazy afterward. It feels like there's something off. Could you help me figure out what's going on? I'm a bit worried and looking for some advice.
Can be due to various reasons such as swallowing air while eating or drinking, acid reflux, or certain gastrointestinal conditions. I recommend trying over-the-counter medication like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate burping symptoms. Additionally, avoid carbonated drinks, chewing gum, and eating too quickly. If the symptoms persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've had jaundice before, but I'm doing well now. I'm thinking about using Liv 52 as a regular detox thing. How many Liv 52 tablets should I take a day? And is there a limit on how long I can use it without worrying?
For detoxification purposes, you can take 2 tablets of Liv 52 twice a day after meals. It is generally safe to use Liv 52 for a prolonged period of time as it is a natural hepatoprotective supplement. However, if you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.
