Updates - antifungal/bacterial mouthwash
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 12:03 am
Hello all,
After a 6 week period with visits to my ENT and dentist, I have a few things to update you on:
1) Getting wisdom teeth extracted next week or in 2 weeks; they have erupted, and dentist has confirmed they may be pockets for bacteria to reside
2) I am currently on allergy shots due to a positive allergy test for a plethora of things (really bad dust allergies, as well as mold and grass). Allergy causes PND --> bad breath due to overgrowth of bacteria, etc...; nasal odor/breath is due to the overgrowth and the PND symptoms are being treated. PND has been reduced by a good amount due to: a) corticosteroids, and b) nasal anti histamine spray. I really suggest that ALL of you get yourselves tested for allergies. I can't stress how important this is. My whole life I have lived with PND, but had not known the PND was due to allergies.
BB still exists even though PND has been reduced. Nasal odor still exists.
3) ENT has confirmed BB, mouth is clean, as well as tonsils. Had an endoscopy done; Adenoids, as well as sinus area are looking as if they are in good shape. Prescribed me a specially formulated mouthwash:
Consists of: 1) Ceftin, 2) Nystatin, 3) an antihistamine, and 4) and a steroid of some sort/anti-inflammatory. Ceftin - antibacterial; Nystatin - antifungal.
Swish it around for 5 minutes, then ingest. It has been 3 days, and I am actually seeing results...as in no white tongue with morning breath, and I don't have that odd taste as much.
We shall see how this works out, for I am to do this for around 3 weeks then follow up. The rationale here is to rid the infection/overgrowth (fungal, or bacterial, whatever it may be), and control PND. Here's to hoping it works!
Oh: Nasal rinse with alkalol helps clear a lot of mucus out. Try Alkalol!
