After tonsilectomy

I had my tonsils taken out about a month ago due to the bad breath I was getting from what I thought was caused by tonsil stones. But now I'm not so sure what the cause has been after all. My tonsilectomy was almost a month and a half ago and the aftermath has been up and down. For the first two days after my surgery my breath was completely fresh-no coating on my tongue whatsoever. The next few weeks though were quite the opposite but I know that's the norm. What confuses me though is that now that I no longer have that white coating where my tonsils used to be (or at least it's no longer visible) shouldn't my breath be fresh again like how it was right after my surgery because it isn't. I will say that on some days it seems to have improved by up to 50%, but on other days, it's just as bad as it used to be. I'm really confused and quite discouraged. Has anyone had any similar experiences? Are things going to get better for me for good soon?

Were you on any antibiotics after your tonsillectomy? Sometimes they are given as a precaution.
I think you will find that even though your tonsils may have stunk very badly, they'll turn out not to have been the underlying cause of your BB. Unfortunately that is typically how things turn out.

You have candida, and for this reason most people who have a tonsilectomy still experience BB after: they only remove bacteries action in the tonsils, but bacteries will continue "WORKING" IN THE HEAD OF ESOFAGUOS and in the whole body.

Candida is the problem, not tonsilstones (they are only the effects of candida action). Read the post of viewtopic.php?t=2534&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

There are a lot of stories with candida, on this board
