Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

So so pleased for you man!!! Wish you the best of luck with your progress...my advice: get prepared to spend alot of time in bed watching dvds and eating ice cream because you wont be interested in doing much else

Oh I see :) well good luck. It's always fun doing experiments.lol I am still trying the mouthwash experiment-since my tonsils were removed I have stopped using all the mouthwashes I was using daily and taken my oral routine back to basics. Before I was brushing with retardex, scraping tongue, gargli...

I just dont want to think about it causing more problems when I have felt so happy since the op.I think I will watch this space and go to my GP if it does end up being problematic.Nothing is ever easy is it? lol

Glad to hear you are ok

why do you believe milk may be a factor?

I thought this was required but I didn't notice anyone mentioning them.

Nope I wasnt given any anti-biotics at all

Hey fullofhope and hopefull, sorry I havent posted in awhile but since I got better I have been working as much overtime to make up for the shifts I lost when I took the time off for my tonsiletomy. I am good though. Still happy that I removed my tonsils but now that I can open my mouth wide and tha...

have you guys had any progress with Profresh?

Hey happdays, I don't think my BB ever came from my nose because when I shut my mouth and breathed through it on buses and in social situations I couldent smell anything. Also there were no reactions from others. It was only when I opened my mouth did people back away, get that confused look on thie...

Yeah I'm good fullofhope :) My breath is much improved and everyday the white coating is reduced. Today there is a little on each side. What I am working on now is getting myself mentally/socially retrained. I went for lunch yesterday with a friend and were sat opposite each other throughout talking...

sorry to hear about the wait hopefull. In the Uk it has taken me from the 10th april to the 6th september to get this operation done.

I hope you find somewhere that is affordable soon.

That would be amazing! Would take some really courageous folks to step up and be counted in the making of it though..I doubt I would dare and risk the embarrassment being captured on film forever. But thats just me and I was supremely chicken shit about my BB being exposed when it didnt have to be.

Couldent agree more. That is a great idea elliott

how are you coping post-op fullofhope? taste still constant?

I'm excited. Not sure I can trust my breath 100% yet so wont be racing out to talk to people face to face yet but feel optimistic today. I reckon any trace of post operative smells will be gone by friday so will trust it more after that date. I hope nothing changes!!!

Thanx Emotionalrescue :) I am so happy today. On waking up my mouth wasnt rancid..this is the first time in years. I brushed my teeth at 9am and sat here typing this my mouth still feels clean. Clean of both the post-tonsilectomy smell AND tonsil stones. There is also no soreness to my throat, just ...

Your last post has filled me with hope, thank you. I did this because what little confidence I had left (after being quite confident before my BB problems) was dying and I needed to make a positive change. I really feel that I did the rigjht thing and to hear that it both improved your BB and raised...

Wow. So did the first tonsilectomy improve your breath and eliminate the stones? You also mention that you primarilly used tonsillitis as the reason for the operation over tonsil stones..do you live in the UK? Because that is exactly what I did to ensure I got treated
