Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

So some people suffer from bb because of wisdoms and tonsils, because it's a good place for bacteria to grow.

Now I'm really concerned, say I remove my wisdoms and tonsils, won't the bacteria just grow somewhere else in the body? I mean the bacteria will just find another place to hide.

The tonsils are first line of defence against infection and bacteria, but if we remove it, the bacteria doesn't get filtered, so it spreads faster and quicker throughout the body. Maybe that's why there are people who suffer from TMAU, because that same bacteria found in wisdoms and tonsils is growing somewhere else in the body.

My tonsils is stinking up my breath, but I'm really scared of the consequences of removing it. Can anyone here with a few years of experience, tell me if the tonsils are worth taking out? Well of course I should remove them because of the stink, but at the same time, I'd be removing first line of defence, and bacteria will attack my body quickly.

I'm not going to live forever, but with bb I'm not even living at all.

I don't know whether it's related or not, but since having my tonsils out I've noticed that whenever I get a cold it always seems to go to my chest, which is something that never used to happen with just a simple cold. Now it happens every time. Never anything major though.

Apart from this, the only difference I've noticed is no more tonsil stones.

From what I understand, tonsils are not as important in adulthood as they were in childhood, so I honestly don't think you have anything to worry about, except for the actual tonsillectomy itself.

Bacteria will find a place to hide if given the opportunity, whether you have tonsils or not. Tonsils are just one part of the immune system.

I read about that too... seems like I have to consider profoundly before removing them.

I mean with tonsils, the bacteria is compacted, but if the infection spreads easily to the chest, it's very dangerous because it could just cling to the lungs and cause a stink, by then, it would be literally impossible to identify or remove.
