A few questions Please Help

Hello friends, I've got bad breath since like 5th grade that's when I got my first reactions "Did you fart?" It wasn't really bad back then I don't think and I didn't do anything till I got to like 7-8th grade then I got more and more reactions and started using mouthwash, brush my tongue and I was aware of it. I was becoming more and more insecure, couldn't talk really close to friends, girls were coming up to me, flirting but I was rejecting them. I missed so many good times it is so depressing..

Now I am looking for answers, a cure to end this nightmare because I am in highschool, 16 and it's so bad not being comfortable when talking to people. I've noticed that in the bus is when it's the worst, maybe because of low oxigen? Like people are literally changing seats from me it's so fucked.

One question: Are my lips dry because of Peroxide hydrogen? I have started gargling with it a few months ago and I think since then I got dry lips. I stopped gargling with it for a week but I still have dry lips, I drink lots of water if you're wondering.

Second: Is pulling oil/coconut oil a better temporary fix than the peroxide? I started using it, it gives me a fresh-neutral taste in the mouth like the peroxide but in the first day when I started I got a reaction from my brother, he asked me if I farted. Oh and by the way hydrogen peroxide stopped working for me, whenever I gargled with it I felt a burning in the throat and one day I got a ton of reactions. Especially from one of my friends he kept saying theres something really bad smelling although I couldn't smell anything. Maybe just a bad day?? I do not know.

Third: Sometimes when I change the environment like when I go from a classroom outside I get this very wierd smell like a gas or metal I do not know how to explain it, it kinda gives me the feel that my breath is stinking, whats up with that?

Forth: Is a tongue scraper useful? Like does it get rid of the white stuff or reduces the smell? I went to a local pharmacy I asked the lady for one and she was looking wierd at me and said they don't have it. Where do you guys get it from? :D

I've seen lots of people saying to remove the protein out of the diet but I literally can't, I am going to the gym and I need protein... I eat meat almost every 2 days if not everyday.

Thanks for reading, I hope I'll find some answers.

Hello Robert. I can't really answer your first three. About your fourth question. Yes a toungue scraper can be very helpful, and if the bb is mild and originating from the tongue, doing that every day could be enough to eliminate it. Weird that they didn't have one in the pharmacy. One thing you can try instead is to take a toothbrush and cut the bristles in half. Then use that one as a tongue brush. If that doesn't help then a scraper wouldn't either.

And about cutting out protein, i would recommend cutting out all dairy. Like milk and cheese etc. For a few weeks and see if that helps. No need to cut out the meat.

Sorry to hear about what you're going through. To answer some of your questions (from my experience, I'm not a doctor or anything but I'm going through the same thing).

Q) Are my lips dry because of Peroxide hydrogen?
A) Probably not, I have dry lips and mouth and I don't gargle with Peroxide

Q) Is pulling oil/coconut oil a better temporary fix?
A) It's a temporary feeling of freshness but later horrible fart smells (even when my mouth is closed)

Q) Whats up with the metal taste?
A) I don't know, I get that too (it's something new I've noticed, but people are reacting badly towards me when ever that taste comes)

Q) Is a tongue scraper useful? Where do you get one?
A) It does remove all the white off your tongue, but hasn't done anything for my breath. As to where to get one, any store in the oral care isle, or if you can't find one at your local store you can go to Amazon.com or Walmart.com

Q) People say to remove the protein out of the diet?
A) I'm a vegetarian, and don't eat lots of protein (like peanuts) so that definitely isn't it

I'm constantly trying new things to see if anything works, I'll be sure to keep you posted!

Good Luck
