Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

It was a nasal type bad breath which I felt smelt like poo that came on and off for no reason I can explain. Thankfully I was aware when I had it so could try and stay away from people. I'd been to the doctors a few times about the odour and after joining this forum decided I needed to see an ENT to ...

Just another update really as I had a couple of inbox messages. I have been bb free for well over a year so there is hope. I'm still paranoid from time to time but am leading a normal life like I couldn't have imagined. I even started a new job last year as my cure has brought a new found confidence!

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.

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 :-)

Hi Firebreath,

I'm not sure if you've seen my thread on here but Metronidazole has 'cured' me twice now. The first dose gave me 8 weeks of beinfg bb free until I got a really bad strain of flu which I felt brought my bb back. I went back to the doctors and explained the situation and he gave me ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

I am only on my 2nd course metronidazole both of which last for 7 days.
The only side effects are tiredness and a metallic taste so nothing to bad. I finish the course tomorrow.

I am currently on Metronizole along with Augmentin and its working, I feel so good!

Well day 3 of the medication and no whiffs today at all, yesterday I had the slightest of whiffs but nothing that worried me. I really hope this is working and will for the long term. I just saw on another thread someone asking where they can get tested for anaerobic bacteria, this would be a good ...

Well I've just got from the doctors and he gave me what I wanted so I went straight to the chemist! I'm noticing a pattern emerging, I am always bb free when I get up and its not until 4 hours after I get up that the nasal odour kicks in. I went to the gym this morning and after a shower I tipped my ...

Hey thanks for the reply. I am trying to stay positive but I am just so upset it has come back to ruin my life again but at least we know what made it go away. Do you think its a case of anaerobic bacteria?

Hi,
I have been bad breath free for 8 weeks since I was given Metronizole (400mg for a week) along with Augmentin (375mg for a week) by my ENT Doctor. I've had the best time, appreciating all the things that would normally have affected me. Stupid things like, standing in a queue in an overcrowed ...

Thanks buts its very early days. Yes it was a fecal smell from my nose that would come and go for no apparent reason often when bending down. I took 400g of Metronizole 3 times a day with food along with Augmentin (375mg) 3 times a day also. I am assuming there must have been an infection up there ...
