CURE FOR TONGUE COATING AND SMELLY TONGUE

[Tee]

Hi All,
I've been lurking around this forum for 2 years now, I recently signed up to contribute. Though I'm yet to find a cure for my Chronic halitosis, this forum has helped in unimaginable ways..I've read through all posts since 2006!

I recently stumbled on an easy effective and affordable fix for heavy tongue coating and tongue smell. It's worthy of Note that tongue coating and tongue smell may be a symptom of halitosis, eliminating it doesn't mean there will be no halitosis, as in my case.

The cure is a Pharmaceutical Product called GLYCERIN AND BORAX. It's a whitish clear viscous liquid sold in pharmacies for less than $1.
COMPOSITION: 12% BORAX ,88% Glycerin.

HOW TO USE: Brush your mouth and rinse with water. Then use a tablespoon full of d liquid in your mouth (may have a slightly warm feeling), let it sit in on your tongue for 5mins, then brush your tongue out with a Clean toothbrush. Repeat for 5days, morning and evening to see affirmative results, discontinue and use once weekly for maintenance.

I had the pinkest tongue I've ever had in my lifetime, in about 3days of using twice daily. Ive been using this on e weekly (after the first week dosing) for the past 6months, my tongue is still pink, no tongue smell, YES I still have halitosis.
The only pharma product that temporarily achieved that for me in the past is NYSTATIN oral liquid, the results didn't last two days

I was advised by a very doctor to gargle with nystatin liquid in the morning. I purchased it over the counter once when I was outside the US, but I was so hopeless and disappointed that I never cared to actually use. The six bottles I purchased expired after sitting in my drawer for 2 years.

We already know, whatever we use, is only a temp fix that won't last for long.

I mentioned, eliminating tongue coating/smell doesn't necessarily mean you're BB cured.
However, it goes to confirm the BB isn't likely from your tongue, since the tongue is the biggest obvious oral culprit. Plus it helps to loose the nasty sour shitty taste for a while, however short.

yep, that's one of the obvious logical assessments we can make.

As I gave the example of doing this test.

Before brushing the teeth or tongue scrapping in the morning. Take a sample of saliva from the tongue surface near dorsum. It will probably smell like crap on most of the days.
But use a different finger and take a sample of saliva from UNDER the tongue, it will have no smell at all. Just like baby breath.

It kinda indicates that the problem is not in the saliva or in the tongue. But this stink comes either directly from the stomach or the lungs or a mix of both?
And the residue of these stinky fumes help the exponential growth of bacteria on the posterior surface of the tongue, and possibility in the throat, and food and air tracts as well?

Tongue is perhaps only the second sources of bb in many cases, but the actual culprit is either the stomach or lungs that release the stinky fumes.

Another doctor that I met told me that there are certain kinds of bacteria in the mouth that stink really bad, and unfortunately some people genetically produce a lot more of this bacteria than the rest. And their bodies are not naturally equipped to encounter this over growth by producing the equal amount of good bacteria that fights against this bad stinky bacteria?

If this is true then perhaps tongue surface could be the major sources in some cases of chronic halitosis. Perhaps there are some glands inside the tongue that produce bacteria that emerges on the tongue surface, and there is disbalance in the production? I don't really know.

But I do know that in many cases, I had my nose almost inside of someone's mouth when they spoke, and I couldn't pick an iota of bad breath in them. Really and truly got me sad and disappointed for not having the same luxury. Seriously, these people don't even know what kinda treasure they are gifted with.

@KL123 .. Yea it sucks. I worked with a male colleague, and we had to work all night after a full day's work as we had a deadline to beat. We had dinner, I always have toothpaste n brush handy, I used after dinner (breath still stink)..he didn't brush, no mouthwash nothing. We left the next morning had there was Zero odor on his breath.. we sat in the same car, windows up and he kept talking.. ZERO ODOR.
If halitosis isn't a curse..I wonder what is.

My breath stinks terribly, fills the whole room, no matter how large, it can be perceived from 20ft-28ft away (YES I measured it) even outdoors, COVID-19 masks makes it worse. I get sour, bitter, shit taste daily. My breath is bad 24/7, feels heavy n hot. My nasal breath is worse.. imagine being alive is offensive.

I've had mild BB since alongside terrible Acne age 14, but I had friends, lived a full life, it wasn't so bad, from my mouth alone, I had really terrible morning breath I long discovered it wasn't normal, my exes could stay all day without brushing and the breath stays fine for another 8 hours (if they choose to), my mild bb didn't travel far till 4 years ago, it suddenly snapped. Woke up with 24/7bb that has never ever gotten any better.
WEIRD FACT: the chronic halitosis started in the same month the Acne naturally stopped (I wasn't using any acne products)this isn't a coincidence.

WHAT IVE DONE
1. Paranasal CT scan- Rhinitis, inflammation if the inferior turbinates.
2. Tonsillectomy- made the BB terribly worse.. I had unusually large tonsils (probably inflamed) no stones but get tonsils infection/soar throat 1-2times WEEKLY.
3. Therabreath and all Halitomafia products, makes it worse instantly.
4. H202 (hydrogen peroxide) and the likes makes it worse instantly
5. Dental surgery for the extraction of an impacted tooth- no difference. Consulted and examine by 6 dentists and a gum specialist (periodontist?).. No problems found.
6. Digestive enzymes, xylitol, diatomaceous earth , chlorine dioxide tablet (food grade) and a myriad of shitty online suggestions that didn't do shit.

I haven't found a solution to REDUCE IT. I've giving up on a cure, I just need something to reduce this . NOTHING has worked .only worse.

SYMPTOMS
My symptoms are pretty much like everyone else.
1. Chronic PND, fatigue, tongue coating, bad taste
2. I have an unusual condition called COBBLESTONE THROAT. Most ENTs I've visited didn't know what it was. It may be due to Irritation from PND, tonsil infection or stomach Acid (GERD). It's basically painless sores, bumps and patches in the throat goes down to as far as my eyes can see.
3. The posterior of my tongue has bumps, patches and inflammation, dunno wat to make of that but it's related to the overall irritation on that area.
4. I may have LPR since I dont have obvious GERD symptoms.

Aside these I'm perfectly healthy.

Oh yeah babe. That has happened to all of us.

The other day I was at Home Depot and needed some help.
An employee (heavy set lady in her 40's who was totally out of shape, and what she looked to have, was not the perfect set of teeth (both shape and color wise), walked with me to the isle.
She was standing next to me as she bent down to pick an item while she was talking. Her mouth passed my nose. I even felt a mild gush of air from her mouth but ZERO odor. She kept talking right next to my face. ZERO odor!

And I was like, she must be eating all the so called "unhealthy foods" burgers and carbs and whatnot, and all what she would do is brush teeth in the morning without caring about tongue coating and tongue surface. And she is BB free for all day long. Her bad looking teeth didn't contribute to any breath odor either.

And here we.
We have fcuked the shit out of oral hygiene, we have generously opened our wallets to anything and everything that comes with a hope to cure BB, we have religiously followed all protocols to cure BB .... but NOTHING WORKS!

What a misery!

However, it's kinda hard to believe that your breath odor can be picked 28ft away.
I think it's only in your head.
And some assholes who already know you have this condition, just make that monkey looking face and rub nose to put you down, even if they are that far and can't really pick the odor.
