I think my breath is getting worse

For a while the poop taste in the back of my throat went away. Even when I swabbed the back of my throat I couldn't smell anything. My bad breath was still there though because every single day I get reactions.

Now I can taste a bad poopy taste in the back of my throat. It has become quite a strong taste. Also if I swab the back of my throat it smells just like poop. I think maybe my reflux is getting more severe and now I have this horrible poop smell mixed into the already bad breath smell.

It seems like my breath is just getting worse now. I'm at my wits end. I don't see any way out of this mess.

What remedies have you tried? Don't ever give up trying to find a cure.

At first I thought my bad breath was due to some fungal infection. I tried taking fluconazole, and also wormwood complex. I also used to take oil of oregano. Then I tried metronidazole to see if it was some bacterial infection. It didn't do anything.

Now I applied for a health insurance plan, but I haven't even heard back from the company and I don't know if I will even get covered.

Next step I want to take is to get an upper gi endoscopy. I'm pretty sure I have acid reflux but I don't know if that is the cause of my problem. I don't want to just get treated for that only to find out there is something else causing my problem.

God damn its just getting worse all the time! I never had stinky tonsils before when I had my bad breath. Now I rubbed my tonsils and they stink. I even found 1 tonsil stone. I never had that in my life before and suddenly I find it. My tonsils were completely fine before but now it stinks and has tonsil stones. Its like this bad breath is taking over my whole body and making everything go bad. Now the smell is going to be intensified.

You probably had stones before too but you couldn't see them.

@Archimode - Well I was poking around and never found any before. Also my tonsils never had any smell before. It used to smell like nothing. Now it smells really bad and I probably have some tonsil stones hidden in the crevices now. So I think this problem is new and is an addition to my other cause of bad breath.

Hm.. this reminds me of a story, my mom used to suffer from insomnia, on days when she couldn't sleep, her breath smells like poo. I'm starting to think it's related to digestion. When digestion weakens it cannot break down food properly so it rots in your body. What cured her is adequate amount of sleep and light meals at night,

What I think is that you should have a light dinner, veggies and soup, no meat.
Try that and see if it works.
