What is the effective way to treat bad breath in pregnant women?

Many pregnant women will find that they have bad breath during pregnancy. Of course, they cannot blindly use some medications at this time to avoid affecting the fetus. They should focus on cleaning the tongue coating, gargling frequently, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding eating spicy and irritating foods.

Method 1: Clean the tongue coating

When your mouth has a strange smell, you can clean your tongue after brushing your teeth and thoroughly remove the food left on your tongue.

It helps eliminate bad breath in the mouth and restores the tongue's taste buds to the correct sense of taste, so that the taste of food becomes stronger and stronger.

Method 2: Rinse your mouth and drink water frequently. Pregnant women can rinse their mouths frequently to remove bad odors in their mouths. They can also prepare some fire-reducing drinks, or tea, juice, etc. to remove bad odors in their mouths. At the same time, pay attention to oral hygiene before and after eating, so that bad breath has nowhere to hide.

Method 3: Avoid spicy, raw and cold foods

In order to take into account the changes in the taste and preferences of pregnant women, a variety of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy foods can be consumed in moderation during pregnancy, but overly spicy foods should be avoided to prevent the stomach from being overloaded. Some pregnant women eat too much spicy or too raw or cold food.

Method 4: Change the ingredients and cooking methods

Pregnant women can try to choose food that looks good and tastes good to stimulate their appetite.

1. Try to marinate various meat products with delicious seasonings, or exclude greasy pork and beef and eat chicken, eggs or fish instead to reduce nausea.

2. Change the variety of dishes from time to time, change the color, aroma, taste and form of food to increase interest in eating.

3. Add appropriate amounts of tomatoes, onions, garlic, coriander, etc. to the food to enhance the taste of the food, avoid the bitter taste and enhance the sour or sweet taste.
