Hey, sorry for the delay. I have insurance and no longer have any medical receipts so I can't give you a solid answer as to price. ENT told you your sinuses were ok huh? You still think it's PND? How's your diet, what do you eat and drink in a typical day? How much water, caffeine, etc?
I am all for you getting a second opinion and an allergy test but I'm pretty sure it will be expensive if you live in the U.S. You may be able to get some flonase and astepro from an "online pharmacy" maybe in Canada or UK. In my case though, I was put on Prednisone first then, the nasal steroid/antihistamine combo. So, I'm not sure if it was the whole combination of the 3 drugs that cured it or what.
I do remember getting a Z-PAK sometime ago and experiencing a permanent improvement in my BB of about 30%. This may have HELPED my sinus situation but not cured it. a Z-PAK (azythromicin) only cost me $7 but it was prescription also.
Again, give me a meal day........I think sometimes it's what we put in our bodies that helps the halitosis get strong.

RE: NOTANYMORE
again sorry for being so ignorant......
yes that wat he said but i dont believe him 100% he is an old doctor but you would think he has alot of exprenince right.
my diet well i drink two protien shakes a day, i try to eatin anything with protein in it like tuna chicken, im hispanic so i eat tortillas everyday lol. all i drink is water now. i dont drink colored drinks or anything like that.
when you havd PND would you blow out from nose lots of mucus? and did you have that feeling like if you had something in your throat?
i contacted a allergy clinic they charge me 400 for allergy test ima go for it.

Hey PR......I don't think you're ignorant. Anyway, I think you will overcome your problem just because you are tenacious and you don't seem like you'll ever give up. GOOD FOR YOU!
So your diet sounds good. Sounds like you get lot's of protein. You lift weights or workout? If you do, do you take supplements? The reason I'm asking is because some pre-workout sups have loads of caffeine in them like NO2 sups and creatine is known for it's drying affect in the mouth.
To answer your question about the symptoms of my PND. Yes, lump in throat almost all the time and especially in the morning and night and when I blew my nose it was GREEN. Green snot is USUALLY a sign of infection. Also, the saliva in my mouth was super thick and so stringy that a couple of times when I hacked up phlegm (sorry, kinda gross) and spit it out, some would actually stay attached to my tongue. Also, I was coughing a few times when I woke up in the morning...this is another sign of PND.
At first, the symptoms were like GERD. I had no idea it was PND because I usually couldn't FEEL it dripping down the back of my throat. Since I was treated my metallic taste and reflux symptoms went away. I know it's because my saliva is thin now and when I swallow it's easy with NO feeling in my throat.
BTW, my allergy test was negative and the allergist just recommended I not eat dairy (because it thickens the mucus) and she contributed the PND to "ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS", whatever THAT means. I still don't know what it is that caused the PND.
Let me know how things go and stay positive!

Hey, glad to hear you are making progress! It's difficult to tell if you have true BB now because you are on a medication (which can cause dry mouth and BB) so you must wait until you are done with the med then test it. As for the meds I've taken, check my second post....lol. I'm interested to know what shot you got and what antibiotic you are taking. Let me know and congrats again on your progress.
