Foul smelling odor from nasal passages

[Helpless_in_tennessee]

I have been battling this horrible smell emanating from my mouth and nasal passages for over 6 years.  I have been to several different dentists who have cleaned my teeth, performed several oral surgeries - nothing helped.  They suggested a visit to an ENT.  I went to an ENT who said  I had a sinus infection in which case I had 2 surgeries to drain the infection.  Nothing changed.  Then I was told my tonsils had an infection because I would produce those little horrible smelling balls from the back of my throat.  I had my tonsils removed hoping this would be the cure.  No such luck, the foul smell was still there.  The doctor then suggested I take Prevacid because he thought it was an acid issue and I needed to follow up with a gastrointerologist.  I went and they put me on Nexium twice a day.  Guess what?  I am still a social outcast.  The smell is getting worse.  I floss, I brush 3 times a day.  I cannot sit in meetings without people smelling the horrible smell.  Everyone of the twenty people  on my floor at work have to use air freshener because of me.  I have no social life because I cannot get close to people.  I cannot go to church. I dread going to work, going to the grocery store, going anywhere where there are people.  I am in misery.  Somebody PLEASE HELP!!!

First off I want to say that I am no stranger to this "hell".  Ever since i can remember i have had extreme allergy problems and i mean extreme (post nasal drip, constant sneezing/sniffing, nasal odor, bad breath...u name it i've probably gone through it). Well there came a day where i got fed up with all of it and decided that i was gonna end this sh#@ for lack of a better word. I began irrigating my sinuses and this definitely helped a lot but it seemed as i rid myself of one problem another would surface.  So in short i did a lot of reading...and came across water fasting. So what tha hell nothing else seems to work so why not give this a shot. Plus i got sick of irrigating my sinuse with chemicals because saline didnt seem to get everything. It was hard but i fasted for 3 day with nothing but water and voila. To be brief, fasting eradicates any "crap" in your body. Just google water fasting and be amazed at what your body can do on its own. Ive never felt better. Occasionally ill still have slight bouts of allergies but compared to what it used to be its nothing. If your fed up then please give it a try and do some soul searching while your at it, its amazing how little we know about ourselves but thats another story. Good luck folks!

when I use the H202 I notice pain in my sinuses and some off balance feeling and fizzing in my ear canal so maybe it is killing any infection in there

some people on here also use anti-fungal cream in their nose

I've been using diluted H202 at 10:1-40:1.  I also use zovirax cream which is an antiviral and this clears up my sinuses.  so maybe I have a viral infection

I have tried the neilmed sinus flush with not only the saline solution but the alkalol as well.  It does not seem to work.  I only do this once a day.  I will start trying 3 times a day.

have you tried neilmed nasal rinses 3 times a day?  it is helping me- I've lost my sense of smell and have a bad sinus infection
