Chronic Bad Breath

[Desperate123]

I am in desperate help to find a cure for Chronic Bad Breath. I brush 3 times a day and brush my tonuge. I have used Dr Katz and Oxyfresh but no results. I do not have Periodontist Disease and my teeth are in good health. I have a post nasal drip but my Allergist gave me a spray for that no results as well. What more can I do to cure this problem.This is becoming a social handicapp. Please Help!!!!!

i too suffer from the same problem as of yours. did u find any remedy?

Yes, the mucus itself could cause bad breath and when this mucus is ingested and comes inbto intestine, bacteria break it down and form gases.

ENT should know something about post nasal drip, sinusitis and chronic tonsilitis.
Gastroenterologist can deal with H. pylori infection of the stomach, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

If you have sulphur-smelled breath you should avoid foods containing sulhur.

Thank you Boron,

What type of doctor do I see? Have it been known as a cause for Chronic Bad Breath?

A spray probably won't do the work in post-nasal drip. Try to find the cause.

Have you had a test for helycobacter pylori infection of the stomach? It causes chronic gastritis and could be a source of bad breath.
