For the relatively mild symptoms of bad breath patients, through the local use of antibacterial agents, sweat suppressants, deodorants and other drugs such as topical application, timely cleaning and other methods to help improve; for the relatively more serious bad breath patients need to be as early as possible for surgical eradication.
There are trimming method, scratching method, suction method, etc. Generally speaking, deodorant surgery needs to be carried out after 18 years of age, because the sweat glands of the patients before 18 years of age are not fully developed, and if surgical treatment is carried out at this time, it is easy to lead to the recurrence of the disease after the operation; after 18 years of age, the development of the sweat glands of the patients is mature and their ability to tolerate the operation has been enhanced, so the operation at this time can avoid the recurrence of the deodorant and the success rate of the operation has been increased relatively. Surgery after 18 years of age can effectively prevent recurrence and increase the success rate of the surgery.
