I misjudged when this course finished, I had the last tab yesterday morning but no nothing yet. Thank you for asking. I'm just waiting for it to come back so feel a bit tense. On the bright side if it does re-emerge before next week I have the ent doctor on 26th so I can update him with the recent going ons.

Just an update really. Been of the meds for 8 days and still bb free. I daren't hope to much tho! I have noticed since the I started the tabs again that I have less of an urge to snort which prior to this was constant. I am assuming that the need to snort is the post nasal drip which was feeding the bacteria? I am of to see the ENT later on today where I will get the results of my scan.

Well I had the ENT as noted and he said there was nothing they could do to make a difference. He said that at my first appointment I had inflamed sinuses which was cleared up with the meds. I'm still odour free so far after 4 weeks and am enjoying being carefree at the minute. I'm pretty sure it will come back at some point but for now I've put it to the back of my mind.

Just thought I would look in on this website as I feel it helped me so much when I was at my lowest point. Its now been 9/10 weeks since I exprienced my odour but still not convinced it won't be back. I just hope the same meds will help others :-)

if you use this antibiotic, you must use a rinse daily (morning and night) to maintain the fresh mouth afterwards or your bb will eventually come back once the bacteria repopulate. this is when rinses like smartmouth and chlorine dioxide work. just use a zinc or chlorine dioxide rinse 5 days a week, and chlorhexidine 2 days a week. probiotics at this time is a good idea too.

it's about getting rid of the anaerobic bacteria and then maintaining the low count through rinses in order to keep them from repopulating. this is if you have type 1 bb (oral problem).

Good luck bbsux with the meds. I'm still bb free and its been nearly 5 months. Starting to hope that it will never be back. Apart from the normal brushing and flossing I rince with diluted tea tree oil daily and will continue to do so as I feel it helps.

I just left a message with a doctor that is (trying to) help me asking for the same Rx, Metronazole and Augmentin. I hope this works for me too.

FYI: It's a good idea to not only take probiotics but natural antifungals during antibiotic use because destroying all bacteria can cause a candida albican overgrowth. Natural antifungals like garlic tablets, cocout oil, pau d'arco tea, castor bean oil, apple cider vinegar, carrot juice, etc. are good to help keep over growth at bay during treatment because candida overgrowth can cause bb as well. This is especially essential if you have or suspect you have candida.

At first I was still covering my mouth and avoiding conversation, a few days later I was talking freely among friends and colleagues. But I knew it was just a temporary relief. Have you seen the movie "Awakenings" (Robin Williams, Robert de Niro)? I was awake for 10 days. Tried to get social with people, especially with the ones that I've deliberately avoided because of my bb. Now it's time to get back to my anti-social life.

Compor, did you ever mention to your doctor u had the relief for 10 days? I just wonder if this means you clearly have some kind of infection. I read on another board that someone else who took the prevpac (which is what the three Rx you took is called combined) took it with Prilosec and this cured him completely.

Also is your bb the fecal kind, rotten egg or rotten fish, or like the dirty sock sulfur kind??

That is so promising! 5 months is great, I think you are cured. I remember your symtoms were similar to mine, allergies and sinus problems...I had been on antibiotics last year, different types and my bb came back a few days after finishing them... But I have not tried these 2.
I am so afraid of trying antibiotics because I had already spent lots of effort on probiotics and fixing yeast overgrowth in my body, I dont want to reverse it back, ..just confused.
