Bad Breath/reflux? pnd? infection? Something else?

Hi,

I wasn't sure where to put this duscussion.

I've had bad breath (especially horrendous morning breath) for as long as I can remember. Probably for a good 10 years or so? (I'm 29)

I've also experience what I think is possible post nasal drip (tongue is always coated. Often feel mucus on back of throat and need to clear my thoat)

and some sort of acid reflux in my throat (occasional burning sensation below my adams apple)

Both the possible PND and reflux seemed to come on after already having bad breath for a numbe of years though, so i'm not sure if they're even related? The reflux feeling is fairly infrequent.

I also occasionally get tonsil stones.

I have good oral health. Brush twice per day, floss, moutwash. Dentist confirmed gums are healthy.

Yet I can taste bad breath coming on again shortly after my morning routine.

NOW, I recently took metronidazole for something completely unrelated, and to my utter amazement, my breath became as fresh as a babies! Reflief after a decade! Even my morning breath smelt of nothing.

I was so happy until I read online that other people had experienced this phenomenen, but that the bad breath returns when you stop taking the antibiotic.

I stopped taking it 4 days ago, and I think that my breath may finally be reverting back sad This morning wasn't quite as fresh as yesterdays. I'm depressed now that my bad breath is likely to return in full force within a few days.

I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light?

Anyone been in the same boat and found a cure?

Can any knowledge be gained from the fact that the antibiotic temporaily cured me or not?

      Have you had your adenoids inspected? Removed? It sounds like your case is a lot like what I went through, and you have a biofilm infection of your adenoids. Thats why the metronidizole works but only temporarily, its killing the bacteria, but its not killing off the source. How old are you? If you are over 20, your adenoids are useless and should have disappeared on their own already. You dont need them, your body has developed other means of fighting bacteria, and thereason you still have adenoids is because they are the source of the bacteria

      I went through the same ordeal with BB for nearly 15 years, had my adenoids pulled even though doctor said they were fine, what she didnt realize is that there was a biofilm infection inside my adenoids, and this was causing sinusitis, BB, headaches, irregular heart beat, hyperhidrosis, frequent urinating, etc. same could be true with your tonsils, you dont need them anymore either. Start there, have both your adenoids scraped and tonsils. Is an odorous film removed? If so, theres your culprit.

      What part of your head aches? Thats where you need to get the rinse. one rinse will not cure you, you have to do it over and over again. By you saying it did reduce your headache, to me says the rinsing is what you need to keep doing, as often as pissible. Whereever your head hurts is where you need to get the fluid. Sounds to me like you have diseased tissue in your adenoids. Look at an anatomy chart, where your afenoids are, is this where your head hurts? Keep doing it over and over again. Thr longer you wait between rinses, the more the bacteria will regrow and spread.

      If the odor goes away while you est or drink a lot of fluids, that meabs you are ckearing the diseased cells from your tongue, but over time they come back. The reproduction of these cells is continuous, they dont stop breeding, and breeding causes them to drip down and colonize yiur tongue. I noticed that trend early in my fight, drinking liquor and eating food cleared up the BB for small amounts of time. The more you gave PND, the faster youre breeding, the more severe your infection is

      Sinus rinse helps with my dry mouth and most of the times prevent me from from getting a headache. I get migraines often, three times a week.

      I think bacteria grow on sticky mucus and causes my dry mouth and sometimes headaches. I just woke up and my mouth is dry and I feel a headache coming. If I do a lukewarm sinus rinse now, suck it into my mouth swirl it around in my mouth to collect the mucus on my tongue then the dryness and headache will disappear. I can taste the poo sensation in my mouth and back of tongue now

      I just did the lukewarm sinus rinse, the dryness is gone and the possible headache is gone too. I still have to clean my mouth still though.
