What should I do if I have yellow tongue coating and bad breath?

Bad breath is a big problem for many people. It may be caused by oral diseases or poor gastrointestinal function. Yellow tongue coating and bad breath are both symptoms.

If necessary, gently brush off the tongue coating with a toothbrush or a clean towel. In terms of treatment, the first thing to do is to actively treat the primary disease. For diseases of the oral cavity, digestive system, respiratory system, etc. that can cause bad breath, appropriate treatment should be actively carried out.
