There are many causes of bad breath in a person. It is important for any person who suffers, or causes others to suffer, with bad breath to find the specific cause of their bad breath. This common social disease can be devastating to personal relationships at work and home. The only way to find a good, effective treatment for bad breath is to find the specific cause. Some people who suffer with specific digestive disorders will find that Zantac is a cure for bad breath. This is one of those unintended consequences.
Halitosis is often used as meaning foul odor from the mouth. This is not correct and is a common misconception. The correct term for odors emanating from the oral cavity (your mouth) is Fetor Oris where Fetor is defined as a strong offensive, foul breath odor smell and Oris is ‘from the mouth’. Fetor Oris is a common malady for all ages.
Peptic Ulcer And Bad Breath
Bacteria in the body that is causing other problems as well cause many times bad breath. Certain bacteria have distinct odors and this will present itself as bad breath or other odor disorders in the human body. It has been found that peptic ulcers are often caused by a bacterium and the chronic infection makes a person have reflux and sometimes frequent vomiting that will contribute to the bad breath. By taking medication for the peptic ulcer, an H2 blocker such as Zantac may cure bad breath also.
The Effect Of Zantac To Cure Bad Breath
A person with a peptic ulcer not only has a bacterial infection that may be causing odor but has a problem with heartburn and reflux that will lead to bad breath as well. Zantac works in the stomach to decrease the indigestion associated with the ulcer. This will prevent heartburn, reflux, and any other odors with the ulcer. Taking Zantac to cure bad breath can be an effective method of treatment. The doctor may also treat the ulcer with an antibiotic to rid the body of the offending bacteria. The combination of treatments will make successful cure more possible.
Talk To A Doctor
Any one with a chronic problem of bad breath will want to see their personal physician and discuss the problem. If a person also has frequent indigestion or heart burn they should be sure to inform the doctor of this. The doctor can have tests performed that can help determine the specific cause of the bad breath and can prescribe treatment. If a digestive disorder is the basic cause Zantac can help to cure the bad breath problem.
Zantac is available over the counter but there are also prescription strengths available.
The doctor can best determine which strength and method of taking the drug will suit the patient. If a person can not get in to see the doctor quickly they may want to start taking the over the counter Zantac while waiting for their appointment but they should be sure to let the doctor know of this medication and any other medications they are taking.
