Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I too was just diagnosed with polyps. Even though I'm convinced I had them for a while. I kept telling my ENT there was something wrong with my nose throat and sinuses that was causing bad breath. He reluctantly agreed to a CT scan and it turns out I have polyps and a nasty case of sinusitis. All of...

The only other thing I can think of is water. keep a bottle with you. In those situations I normally casually mention I take meds for allergies or something and they dry my mouth. The interviewers have never minded. So I just sip through out.

A while back I'd asked for some advice pertaining to anti-depressants and anti-anxiety pills. I think the over all consensus was to stay away. Well, I went ahead and began treatment and let me tell you...it has helped tremendously. The BB is still here but I'm not as obsessed about it. I have been a...

I do eat breakfast every morning before work. I have to because I take a bunch of vitamins and a few other things that won't make me sick if I take on an empty stomach. I love cereal and will sometimes have that but I feel like it makes my breath worse. Could be the milk. Most days I'll do something...

This is true. I have PCOS, and many of the symptoms mimic menopause. One of the main things with PCOS is the rise in testerone. My levels are really high and my doctor just prescribed hormone pills to level them out. So I have always had a terrible problem with excess sweating. Since I've been using...

I've wondered about that. But I can't say I've noticed any one race has breath any worse than the next. Of course this only applies to the people I've encountered.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Not sure what I'll do as of yet.

Has anyone had any success with either in helping to alleviate the depression and anxiety?

The anxiety is getting the best of me, and this makes me even more depressed. I can't stand close to someone with out experiencing extreme perspiration, heart palpitations and the like.

meowkity1, you should knocked the listerine and all the rest of his stuff off the table and walked out! But I'm glad you didn't. They make me sick. Some doctors and dentist act so high and mighty. The nurses and hygienist do seem to often display more knowledge and sympathy. I had a nurse tell me my...

Of course i could be wrong but I don't think the ones on the tongue are a huge cause for concern. I also have two big ones on either side and a some smaller ones behind it. But the throat, I think this is a whole different story. I don't think they back of your throat should be lumpy. I'm dealing wi...

Ok, the tonsillectomy was completed on the 4th. Healing is going well. Even with all the gunk in my throat and a waning bout of thrush, my tongue is pinker than I have ever seen it. And still woe is me. I have been complaining of what I thought to be a huge influx of tonsil stones for the past year ...

Hello all, I will admit to not performing a search, so if this has been discussed already, my apologies. Has anyone tried gargling/irrigating with grapeseed extract? I found a thread somewhere about sore tonsils and stones. Several people claimed it helped so I decided to add it to my daily regime. ...

I read this on Wiki. I suffer for capitalism. :roll: Listerine was invented in the 19th century as a powerful surgical antiseptic. It was later sold, in a very distilled form, as a floor cleaner and a cure for gonorrhea. But it wasn't a runaway success until the 1920s, when it was pitched as a solut...

No more toothpaste/mouthwash/stupid-rip-off-products. For the past few months I simply brush my teeth and tungbrush my tongue with water. Just the thought of doing that scares me! I tried at one point to use only baking soda & peroxide. My mouth would feel clean, but I still felt so uncomfortab...
