Have smell even after bowels, senokot liquid subsided. Have bad breath, told nothing gave mouthwashes
Patient: Hello , although I go to the toilet every morning (poo), by about 10am to 11am or after I eat anything, I can still smell myself it doesn't help that I work with a colleague with an over active sense of smell which has consequently made me very concious. As a result I have resorted to taking senokot liquid 10mls every night but not sure if this is sustainable but the odour has gone. (before this I was taking epsom salts but I found that rather too drastic to take on a regular basis) Also for the past few years I have had terrible terrible bad breath, I have spoken to my dentist who said there is nothing I can do just use mouth washes. Do you have any suggestions.I will be back in 10 minutes have to collect my daughter from gym club Doctor: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. Bad breath is usually occurs due to poor oral hygiene maintenance. Plaque and calculus deposition can cause ginigivitis and thus bad smell from mouth. Please do visit a dentist and get scaling done. Use soft-interdental toothbrush and clean your teeth after every meals. Frequent warm saline gargle may help. Also get your blood sugar level checked. Get your medicines replaced if causing difficultis. Also consult a physician regarding your physical health is concerned. Hope this helps.
