Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I just had my tonsils and adenoids out on Friday the 20th. My surgeon said that there was a lot of bacteria in them and that my adenoids were rough and criptic. He was 99% sure that that was where my bb was coming from. I've always felt like I could breath through one nostril better than the other. Now I can breath through both nostrils just fine. I can't tell if my pnd is gone or not. I will report more later.
The recovery has been a lot easier than I've heard so far, but it is only the second day. I hope and pray that my bb days are over!

good

i wish all the best for you

but keep on posting buddy

There is also another person who has his tonsils removed a week ago

What is with his story?

Please keep us up to date with your situation and really, best of luck to you.

What method was used do you know?
Also, how old are you? I would like to do it but my age concerns me a lot, im 36.

It's a perfectly safe operation. If you were 136 age may be relevant, else I don't see how that can worry you

Most adults don't have adenoids though...

I'm 35. Not sure how they did it. I'm sure it was the latest technique.

Fantastic news, gives us all some hope. I just hope my ENT will agree to the op (through the NHS) i really cannot afford to pay privately for the op.

Im 33 and still have adanoids, my ENT put a scope up my nose a few weeks ago and told me my adanoids were clear.

Please keep us posted.

TIREDOFIT hello, anybody in there

any improvements or still the same??

yes, pls don't be another one who gets tonsils out and then disappears.

I can't figure out if it worked so well, they never come back, or if it didn't work so they are depressed and staying away.

hey everybody

i'm the other guy who had their tonsils/adenoids removed about 1-1/2 wks ago. waiting till i'm completely healed before passing judgement. still have scab where the tonsils were and have spit out blood recently. also am unable to scrape tongue and rinse like i used too. i don't detect the putrid smell that was in my throat, but my sense of taste is still not normal yet. FYI i am 40 and have had BB my whole life, it got worse with age too. my ENT told me prior to surgery that if there is improvement it may take time to become apparent, the flora in my mouth will take time to adjust to the effects of the antibiotics i'm taking and the new "landscape" of my mouth. he told me his son had the surgery for the same reason and his breath only improved slightly at first, but after a couple of months was much better.

this really touches home for me. i had been thinking adenoid removal was my last hope. please keep up posted!

Don't worry I won't leave you guys in the dust. It's just too soon to tell. The surgery makes your breath smell really bad because of all the dried blood and all, and I don't suspect to be totally healed for at least another couple of weeks or so. I haven't been on the site because the pain killers have been making me really dizzy and tired. The good thing is I've lost the extra lbs I had gained from having a baby recently. I am hopeful that I am cured since the dr said that there was a lot of bacteria in my tonsils and adenoids. I'll keep you updated.

TIREDOFIT and BBNO.
Sorry for pushing and putting pressure on! That was selfish. Take care of yourselves.
