Lingual Tonsils - Fish Smell

optimismishere · Post by **optimismishere** » Sat Feb 06, 2021 3:30 pm

MANY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHERE LINGUAL TONSILS ARE LOCATED. IF YOU DON'T, FIRST GOOGLE IT.

I've been targeting my lingual tonsils for the past few weeks now. I went to an ENT and asked him to check my lingual tonsils for any type of issues. He said they were fine and that there was no hypertrophy.

Except he is wrong. I thought he'd say my bb source were my lingual tonsils, but he didn't. I've been pushing my lingual tonsils towards my throat and the unsettles them and gives out the worst stench that people can smell. I cat always smell this stench but sometimes I do.

Whenever I push on my lingual tonsils, large amount of old, stale phlegm comes out and I spit it out. My nasal BB gets worse after cleaning them. So horrible that even mask wearing can't stop people from turning back and looking at me in disgust.

This seems logical to me, really. Lingual tonsils are situated at a place where multiple BB causing factors - from reflux acids to post nasal drip - end up and get dried.

If you have both mouth and nasal BB, TARGET YOUR LINGUAL TONSILS. Clean them thoroughly. I have started to brush them. I hold the edge of my toothbrush and push it as far back as possible to target all the areas of the tonsils. I cleaned them today and could smell a fish like stale smell emanating. I'm sure all the BB food lies in there.

And what are you going to do about these lingual tonsils? Remove them?

I'll see if the problem resolves on its own if I clean then properly everyday.

ahah It's like seeing my life again and again, I too got my normal tonsils removed. Then it didn't solve anything and was convinced the problem were my lingual tonsils, so I started seeing ENTs to get them to remove them. Luckily they didn't. So much of my time wasted....

what do you mean by "luckily they didn't"? Do you get any pungent smell when you move your linguals around?

tonsils are not the cause of bb.

Dude, there's a difference between palatine tonsils and lingual tonsils. First Google them and see what you're talking about.

I just wrote I had mine taken out and come back to ask for the lingual ones to be removed too and you are telling me I need to google the difference. Fed up with trying to help at times. Good luck with your surgery, it will solve a lot of things!

A lot of people don't know the difference between the two types of tonsils. I'm trying to help them here. I'm not talking about taking anything out. I just want people to thoroughly clean their lingual tonsils which are situated in the back of the tongue.

I was wondering which post it was that i found. Maybe you could try oil pulling to clean the hard to reach area. I’m gonna try that too.

Oil pulling won't help much tbh. What's required is a sustained focus on the lingual tonsils area. That can be done with thoroughly brushing that area and changing tongue position - this will help ensure air directly touches the rear part of your tongue and cleans and oxygenates the lingual tonsils. Someone in this forum has already done that and got cured. See the posts by the user ttylxman2 in viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7304&p=64530&hilit=Bitcoin#top
