Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hi,

Thanks very much, I cant declare a cure yet but things are pretty fresh but im still healing, might still be a product of the antibiotics etc.

i also had my tonsils and the ENT said I didnt have any adenoids so I deduced lingual tonsils must be it.

I got it done at Leeds Nuffield hospital by ...

Stillhoping - thank you

Dead - Doc came in my room the morning after the operation and said 'you were right, there were tonsil stones'

I'd said to him before i thought the bb was coming from hidden stones.

I asked him if he got rid of all the crypts and places they could embed and he said yes ...

19 days on now,

brushed teeth and breath was still ok after 8 hours despite eating kfc and probably still having remains between my teeth now.

spoke to someone close up at the gym because i knew it didnt smell.

white tongue coating is going leaving it more pinkish.

looks like it was completely ...

Hi,

two weeks on now.

I took painkillers for the first four days post op then stopped and felt ok but strangely enough it started hurting again the other day so back on painkillers. No blood or pus so im not worried.

The antibiotics wore off about a week ago and the bb returned which was ...

4.30 am

been out drinking and eating spicy food and no BB

it must be the ****ing antibiotics. as soon as they wear off im gonna be back to square one i just know it.

on anti biotics for about a week i think so cant tell if bb absence is because of that or not,

recovery is fine not much pain just ...

thanks man

no pain at all, just anxious it will return when the meds wear off

Had my linguals out yesterday, just got home from the hospital.

BB has gone, not sure if its the anti biotics dulling it so can't say until ive finished my course of meds.

The linguals weren't infected but the doc said he did remove a massive tonsil stone that he removed and coblated the other ...

Apologies,

I did reply days ago but it obviously hasnt saved.

Something weird happened. Im booked in for a lingual tonsillectomy on thursday but I know it sounds stupid but I just thoroughly cleaned the back of my tongue with a brush, almost choking myself and the BB has mostly gone at the moment ...

my symptoms just the usual, metallic sour taste, last two mornings ive woken up with bb, but to a lesser extent so i deduce its almost certain the ****ing linguals! theres no other logical explanation.

im gonna tell the ent i have severe tonsillitus and i have a sore throat etc and m suicidal cos ...

Hi,

Second day since I made the discovery. I rubbed my lingual tonsils with a finger covered in toothpaste and it cleared up, but not completely. I don't use a toothbrush because it won't fit so the only option is my finger.

I probably do it for about a minute, including resting for when my gag ...

Hi,

I have been a sufferer for 20 years until last night and I can't believe it.

I had my wisdom teeth out, tonsillectomy and gum disease treatment; all of which made no difference.

After much research on these forums and the internet I deduced that my problem lied with the lingual tonsils; this ...

Cheers, 4 days on from extraction I still smell, a bit less though. The periodontal treatment starts on Thursday so quite nervous. The dentist put some dye in my mouth and it was all over the gums so if this treatment doesnt work then I don't know what will!

Wisdom teeth were partially erupted and ...

Just get it done private. At least see another NHS doctor. You need to say that its really painful (theres no way they can disprove or prove this) its impossible to clean and also say its causing you severe psychological trauma.

If they still say know whats a few hundred quid private?

Had my wisdom teeth out on Monday, if you suspect this might be the cause then get it done asap. In the UK there's a long waiting list so i paid £300 private to get my two lower one's out. I've just brushed my teeth just now and this is the freshest my breath has been for 15 years.

My private ...

Hi, I'm gonna get my tonsils removed but my local surgeries perform the procedure with surgical instruments and not by using a laser. Would the laser be a more effective treatment? Or is using surgical instruments just as effective, but a slightly more archaic method?

Thanks!
