Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I am fortunate. I had a turbinate reduction but did not experience ENS. I did have one of my turbinates get infected during the healing process so that was a pain. The procedure did make it easier for me to breathe through my nose. There are some minor differences in my nasal function but nothing ...

hi FuckHalitosis
Congratulations!
i have it for years too. and started my cure months with wisdom teeth and 5 days ago did tonsillectomy. Dr. said after surgery i had no adenoid (he was 5th ENT i visited and agreed to do adenoidectomy) but i can’t believe it. so now i’m waiting to continue after ...

Very interesting. Congratulations, man!

Seems like chronic type 1 halitosis is almost invariably caused by infections in root canals, tonsils or wisdom teeth pockets.

Definitely good places to start looking, even if there are no symptoms.


So just to confirm.. you couldn't smell your own breath ...

Yes. I no longer have halitosis.

Awesome! I'm happy for you.

Do you think it was mostly from the Adenoids, Palatine Tonsils or the Turbinates? or a combination?

Also, did you ever ask anyone if your breath was bad before the procedure?

Thanks for the update.

I think it was 50% adenoids and 50% palentine tonsils. My breath ...

Just wanted to give another update to the board. I went in for my post op yesterday (Thursday 2-18-16) with my ENT and everything is good. My scab formations are still there but are far less. The pain is mostly gone in my throat. I did ask him if he saw anything weird like cysts or anything in ...

I did forget to mention one great experience that I had today. I am still eating mostly soft foods like soup, grits and mashed potatoes. I went to Outback today to get some potato soup (their potato soup is the best) and it was very crowded. I was in the little carry out and pickup order room. The ...

Could be the adenoid. My 1st ENT stuck a scope camera in my nose and told me I did not have an adenoid a couple of years ago. I just had my tonsils and adenoid removed last week. I think there is no such thing as no adenoid unless you have it surgically removed. There is still a remnant there and ...

Some of the other success stories found cysts or Tornwaldt cysts. Did your ENT mention this at all?
No my ENT did not mention this. He did not even look at my adenoid at my consult. He looked at my tonsils and confirmed they were cryptic. I think he could smell my breath. When I went in for the ...

FuckHalitosis, how did you manage to convince your doc to do the surgery, what arguments did you use?

Thanks btw.

I didn't really have to work hard to convince him. I just knew the side effects of Chronic tonsillitis. So I told him I kept getting sore throats and coughing up tonsil stones and I ...

Awesome! Sounds very encouraging. I think the adenoids are often overlooked because doctors brainwash us into thinking that there is nothing there. I too think this is my problem. I watch for your updates daily.

Are you on antibiotics? If so, you might want to wait two weeks from completion until ...

I'll give a brief update today. Finally I have passed over the apex of the pain and can feel my body heading to the finish line on the healing process. I am still in pain. But it is day 10 and the pain is finally starting to leave. The only interesting thing that happened today is I had several ...

^^^good luck man

Yesterday I had my palatine tonsils removed fully by knife, unfortunately he did not agree to remove adenoid as he said they were very small.
I too am hoping this is the cure once and for all, I have a good feeling about this but time will tell. I am in lots of pain, the medicine ...
