As you know, fresh breath improves understanding. At the same time, bad breath can permanently turn away the interlocutor. The reason for this is not at all onions and garlic, which have such a sharp quality. Studies show: 90% of the European population periodically complain of halitosis, of which 25% — constantly, and on average 60% of earthlings suffer from halitosis or bad breath.
But this is how often the body gives a signal about the diseases besieging it. Therefore, you should not turn your nose up, but diagnose with just one breath and understand why your mouth smells bad, and take the necessary measures.
Tonsillitis gives off rottenness, and ammonia — type 1 diabetes
Anaerobic bacteria cause bad breath. Located in the throat (mainly at the base of the tongue and on the tonsils), they break down the proteins of incoming food. But as soon as a person gets sick, the bacteria become weakened. They are unable to perform direct duties, which leads to the formation of that specific smell, which may be a symptom of a particular disease.
Reason #1. Smell of ammonia: type 1 diabetes.
Why?
The body gets the energy it needs from insulin. If it is not there, then it uses fats for this purpose. As a result, ketones are formed that have smell of ammonia.
- If the smell of ammonia from the mouth is accompanied by rapid weight loss, fatigue or frequent urination, then this indicates diabetes mellitus type 1. Urgent medical consultation required.
Reason #2. Rotten smell: tonsillitis.
Why?
Angina promotes the growth of bacteria, which in turn produce sulphur. It is because of her that the smell becomes heavy. Can sometimes indicate kidney problems.
- Gargling with weak antiseptics will help.
Reason #3. Smell of fish: kidney dysfunction.
Why?
Destabilization of the kidneys leads to the accumulation of nitrogen in the body. The smell from the mouth becomes terrifying.
- A thorough examination of the kidneys is required.
Reason #4. Smell of mothballs: sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses).
Why?
The throat and sinuses produce proteins that are difficult for the body to process. Since their distinctive quality — a peculiar smell of naphthalene, then it is also characteristic of such patients.
- Anti-inflammatory therapy is needed.
Reason #5. Sour milk smell: wrong food.
Why?
Unbalanced diets — with a low amount of carbohydrates or, on the contrary, with an excessive content of proteins — cause the body to process proteins and fats intensively. An unpleasant odor is inevitable.
- You must enter carbohydrates.
Why does my mouth smell bad, like from a garbage pit, and what to do about it?
The statement that our mouth — a garbage pit, no doubt, when the smell from it begins to give off feces. This happens when anaerobic bacteria recycle rotting tissue. Simply put — bits of food left between the teeth.
- Tooth floss and a brush will deal with this smell.
- Drink more water. Its deficiency reduces the secretion of saliva. As a result, the bacteria are poorly washed off, and an odor appears.
- Rinse your mouth. This treatment washes away bacteria and freshens breath.
- Stimulate salivation. To do this, you need to chew so that the brain sends a signal to increase its secretion.
- Sugar-free chewing gum, mints will help. You can replace them with clove seeds, mint or parsley.
- Don't chew foods that contain sugar. It activates the growth of bacteria, which leads to tooth decay.
