Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I just made an appointment to see an ENT doctor in my area. Thank God they didn't ask me for a referral. The appt is for next week. Please share any suggestions on what to ask the doctor during the appt. Thanks.

i dunno what you should ask, but i wish you the best at your appt...and may the ENT dr be especially gifted, intuitive, and skilled.

Ask your ENT if he's had patients who consulted him because of a bb problem.

Yesterday I went to my ENT doctor appointment. The doctor did the nasal endoscopy, where he looked at the nasal and sinus passages, and back of throat. According to him everything looks very healthy and he doesn't see anything that could cause my bb. He says that I still have my adenoids but they're very small and are not infected. I left the office disappointed because I was hoping they would find something. So right now I'm pretty much back to square one and pretty much not sure which direction to go next.

Many doctors, do not believe post nasal drip would cause bad breath. But, it is from my experience that this is one of the main culprits. Sadly, I joined this group abit late. Maybe for the next appointment with another doctor, try ask him if you are showing symptoms of post nasal drip.

From my experience: Sour taste in mouth an hour or two after eating and the need to always swallow.

I don't think the PND causes any odor but I think the bacteria in our mouth's/throats maybe feed off of it.

I mean if I hack up some mucus it never smells of anything at all.

I think only sinus infections produce smelly mucus/phlegm.
