I have bad breath. It seems like it is coming from my throat , uvula or tonsils or surrounding area. My mouth hygiene is more than excellent, no bad decay, no tarter, I visit the dentist every 6 month, I do mouth washes, coconut oil pulling regularly, all kind of expensive mouth wash, hydrogen peroxide...etc. but the problem is not in my mouth its in my throat, I also dont have frequent infections or tonsil stones. Is there surgical treatment for this condition
Hi. Thanks for the query. Well, bad smell concentrated in throat can be due to causes like acid reflux, post nasal Chat Doctor. . Treatment medical or surgical will depend on the cause. As the problem is in throat, so my suggestion is to consult an Otorhinolaryngologist and get evaluated. He can do a Laryngoscopy and if needed upper G. I Endoscopy and even advise sinus x-ray to rule out the exact cause. Treatment can only be decided then. As of now chew sugar-free chewing gum that are mint or menthol flavored to mask bad smell. You can also do steam inhalation with adding Eucalyptus oil in boiling water. You can chew cardamom to mask bad smell.
