tonsilectomi
Few guys mentioned tonsilectomi , they said they are fine after procedure, how are they feeling now? Did they manage to control BB? I am seriously thinking about going through tonsilectomi procedure any help please.
Im going too see an ENT tomorrow, after all these years. Ill have to convince him too let my tonsils go. At least part of my problem is hidden there.( Anyhow, it will take months for operation).But I wonder, when operated, what will be good to take of remedies, for the goodsake of the bacteria balance and stuff. Any views on that?john wrote:no not yet, in june.
Had mine taken out in January this year. Prior to that, doctors could not find anything wrong with my tonsils (tonsil stone negative). Until I insisted that there were minute white dots that come out everytime I suck my mucous out. And so I was right. They were filled with those tiny suckers.
Tonsillectomy helped my mouth bb a great deal- about 90% now (100% I think but 10% is for the benefit of doubt)- but not my nasal bb- about 30-40%. My advise for those planning for this op is to take probiotic, eg Acidophillus, immediately one hour after their last dose of antibiotics. Also use ordinary toothpaste only. This I think is a true measure whether it works for you or not. I remember taking a holiday one month post-op with smartmouth toothpaste in my vanity. That holiday was full of disappointment. Thinking about it now. The only difference b/w that time and now is the zinc in my toothpaste!!
Lastly, some are cured and some are not by this procedure. Most of the people cured are those whose major bb do not originate from the nose as well.

Thanks for advice spygirl. I went to the ENT, didnt have to convince him to get me operated, he agreed after a few minutes. Johoo. I mentioned that I would prefer it done by laser, but he was totally against that. Ill probably take probiotic after im operated. And maybe large dozes of c vitamin is a good idea? I read that many people eat plenty of ice after operated, maybe thats not good for the flora. It was atleast 4 moths queue for surgery, so I have plenty of time to prepare what sort of remedies to use.
