Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

9Years, I'm wondering on behalf of myself and all the others here who are curious (or possibly hopeful) about PATM being the cause of reactions. You said that you had a metallic taste some times, or most of the time, which went away once the adenoids sloughed off. While I myself don't have a metall...

Mindy, over the years, several ENTs told me something similar. When I finally had the surgery, my surgeon finds a Tornwaldt cyst in the middle of the adenoid and plenty of smelly stuff under the adenoid. I had my deviated septum corrected at the same time too. I don't think there is much money in it...

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,...

I'm not sure 100% but hopefully he can claim adenoiditis and they'll pay for it according to your policy. My ENT was out of my network so I paid virtually the whole thing out of pocket. Please, if you don't mind me asking, how much total did the surgery cost you? And btw, I sent you another pm repl...

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...

what kind of insurance do you guys have/recommend? I get that low deductible will generally be high premium but do regular insurance cover this surgery? It depends what country you're in and your deductible. You can usually get insurance to cover it by having your doctor write it up as tonsillitis.

Read the posts on this thread from Rivcachya. Had bothe T & A removed. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=736933 on the flip side read OP http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread107767.html Jimi or anyone, please reach out to the first guy and get him on this site. I need s...

very possible we have TMAU and this will not work at all. THe guy did not smell so much. He still kept his friends, did not loose his job. So I wonder how strong his bb really was. But myself I feel the problem back there, always infection in the back of the throat. If I would have TMAU, why would ...

The only person that confirmed his cure is his wife. We all know how hard it's to know for sure if it's gone. Tonsils and adenoids do cause bb and it's a fact but unless all those people that went to the meetings are also having tonsil related bb then it's likely that will only be cure to small min...

It's all about trial and error though. A lot of people on here have also tested negative for TMAU, and still at a total loss. For what it's worth, it's definitely worth trying an Adenoidectomy, especially if you are considering a tonsillectomy and can have both done at the same time. If you have PN...

I have sour/vinegar bb smell and have been unable to pinpoint the cause. I have suspected only fecal bb smell is caused by tonsil region issues. I guess it won't hurt to see an ENT; I have had chronic bronchitis, PND, deviated septum etc but just not the actual tonsil stones. But like you said, if ...

very happy you have found your -hopefully permanent - solution and most of all THANK YOU for taking the time to stick around and answer all our questions instead of just disappearing. I definitely agree with the previous posts that someone should try getting in contact with meowkitty to find out wh...

I really don't want to have both worked on, rather just adenoid removal.

Please read all posts and threads. I've previously said that deviated septum was unrelated to halitosis.

I have a question. After the crust fell out. Just how long did it take before the bitter/metallic taste went away? From what i understand it went away pretty much immediately? But is that like, within 10 seconds of it falling out, the taste just disappeared? Or was it more like, the taste gradually...

Took the first step, have an ENT appt. Friday Also I have already had a CT scan done for a different issue (complex migraine that paralyzed my left side for a few hours). It was done in the ER There should be no reason why he can't pull it up and look at it, right??? Thank god for technology sharin...
