Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

There has been lot of discussions about antibiotics here. I have been on h.pylori treatment with antibiotics without having h.pylori and like many its only during the duration of the treatment I had relief. Let me also say that levaquin has been the most effective antibiotic for me.

Sean1979,

When were you on this antibiotic?????

Are you taking any now????????????

Drastic,

didn`t u take antibiotics after the tonsillectomy? I took a combination of metronidazole+amoxycilln for 5 days and the positive effect seems to last even after, which has never happened before ( bb would come back the day after I had stopped the antibiotic).

Hi iva,

No, in UK, some hospitals dont give antibiotic after surgery. Who knows I might have some infection from surgery but they still dont give antibiotics.

I didnt get any antibiotics after my tonsillectomy last month.

I so hate those people at the hospital. I think it would have made a huge difference. Because who knows how many of the bad bacteria probably got into my wounds while they were healing. Antibiotics would have prevented this.

WEll apart from that my throat isnt in any pain or red or anything its fine.

I have taken levaquin to treat a virus called KB and sure did not take my bb away

Drastic did taking out your tonsils helped any?

Hi Halihope,

it helped somewhat in that poop tonsil stones gone.

But, still have another smell- more like coming from stomach though.

Hi, Drastic,

it`s really weird that u haven`t taken any antibiotics after the surgery...I suggest u find a way to get the HP treatment (PPI+2 antibiotics; metronidazole is too good not to try it). In case the doctor is not willing to prescribe anything, maybe s.o. can get the antibiotics for u from abroad. U really deserve to make the difference and to benefit from antibiotics. As I mentioned, I made a huge progress from my 1.improved oral hygiene + 2.increased the dosage of Nexium + 3.Metronidazole+Amoxycillin. I don`t know how it happened, but now I am able to communicate almost normally and get only slight reactions

Thanks iva,

You are right. Antibiotics would have made a difference for me.

But, I will have to work hard to convince my new GP. That old man dont seem convinced somehow that anything is wrong with me.

Iva, how long have you been on the triple therapy? Days? Week?

Any reations.

Hi, Drastic

hope u convince the doctor u need antibiotics.
I am not really on the triple hp terapy. I am taking the ppi for my gerd and the antibiotics were my idea, I took them for 5 days but there seems to be a positive effect (been able to talk to two people face to face about 50 centimeters away without ANY reaction; and whenever I do get a reaction, its not that strong..)

Hi iva,

I havent got back the results of my stool test as yet. I am waiting for it - I am going to call the GP on Wednesday to find out.

I hope to get the results and hopefully speak to him about getting some antibiotics. If I dont then I will just have to live. Nothing else I can do.
