mucus & bad breath

by JWJ1959, Sep 05, 2008 09:04AM
Dear Friends

Has anyone experienced and overcome my problem?
I suffer from chronic bad breath which I believe/know is caused by excess mucus and post nasal drip.
My doctor has confirmed I have small polyps high up in the nose (and probbaly too small to remove at present). My doctor has prescribed Flixonase Nasule Drops which reduces the swelling and allows me to breath through my nose, however I still feel as though I have a cold all year round which I can live with but the excess mucus and resulting bad breath is causing anxiety and depression. I dont seem to be able to remove the mucus from the back of my throat which from what I can gather triggers the bad breath. I am constantly coughing up mucus and food seems to get lodged in my throat.
Any advice or solutions would be most welcome.

Regards

J
