Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hello, I thought I would not be able to post until tomorrow. But I've been home 4 hours and I am in very very little discomfort. I had my tonsils out almost 20 years ago. I thought I was going to die, for 2 weeks. It was so so horribly painful. Just like 9 years had reported - A little sore throat. ...

Tomorrows the day, 10am getting septoplasty & adenoids out. And any regrowth of tonsils.
Not nervous, not particularly hopeful. Will post results but of course won't know for a while.

please don't attempt to remove your own adenoids!
Take out a credit card with crazy interest, sell your grandmas jewelry to have a dr. do it! Don't be rash. I know your desperation, I am right there with you.
I am fortunate to be able to afford it with insurance, but take care of yourself.

Yes, my PND definitely smelled and so did my tongue. I would use a tongue scraper and could smell something bad in my saliva. 9years, was your tongue ever white and coated? My tongue is so strange. I was trying to post a pic of it. I mainly have a white tongue with 2 or 3 pink patches. I see people...

There is an online portal to contact my doctor directly. So I filled it out in detail asking him to look for tornwaldt cysts, left over tonsils, and all adenoids..for my upcoming procedure. I was very lengthy, I also attached the medical article from 9years and asked his opinion on the article. All ...

April 7th is my septoplasty And adenoid removal. So here I go again. Nothing to lose, except bb. Mindy, that's great. Congrats. May it do for you what it did for me. Don't forget to tell him to look for Tornwaldt cysts, whether they're in the adneoids or anywhere else. Funny you should mention torn...

Well it wasn't easy, he dismissed me 3 times. I gave him a sob story, then he looked down my nose with scope. He said there was VERY little adenoid tissue. Being that he told me I had a deviated septum last visit, he said he'd fix that and take any adenoids out. As 9years said. I will before the pro...

And adenoid removal.

Fed up- I see on your list of attempts you had a sinus CT scan done. I'm sure your adenoids can be seen. The CT scan is not reliable in my opinion anyway! My ENT said he could see nothing on the scan but when he took the scope down my nostrils he did see a small amount of tissue. Do you have a devia...

My bad breath has been described as:
Poop
Mothball
Garbage

Cross-posted. This is what happened at my ENT appointment today: He came in and said adults don't have adenoids. Negative and shaking his head like I was not going to tell him different. I Told him to please look at my CT scan from a year ago, he left and came back. Said he didn't see any adenoids, ...

My deductible is $400 and then I pay 20% of what the surgery costs. not cheap!! I've alrady had my tonsils out, so what could the ENT claim for on insurance for adenoid removal on an adult? Hope my appt goes well tomorrow and he can sympathize with me and see something on my Head CT scan I had done ...
