Need help!!!!! Can nasal polyps cause terrible bb????
I have been visiting the dentist regularly, nothing wrong with the teeth and gums. had my lower wisdoms extracted and a crown replaced recently but no real improvement in my bb. I have had some relief in the past when i was on antibiotics, makes me believe thet my problem is mainly bacterial. I had a CT scan done for my sinuses recently and was diagnosed with a nasal polyp. Rest of the sinuses are clear. I have a slightly deviated nasal septum as well but i dont think it contributes much to bb. I had an appoinment with the ENT surgeon today. He is ready for the rhinoplasty but he says it will be mainly for the cosmetic purposes. He wont be touching my sinuses also . i tried asking for polypectomy but he plainly ignored. wtf!! I know rhinoplasty cant cure me alone. And i dont have a choice for other ENT surgeons out here. I am really depressed. Can nasal polyps cause bb? I have a terrible nasal bb and get a lot of pnd. I can offend people sitting 10 feet away from me with my mouth closed. I will be requesting him again for the polyp, but is it worth it? Is there any way to convince him? I am too embarrassed to speak about my bb. And i know talking about it to the docs wont help either.
Thanks!
I am in the same predicament....I have had bb for the last 6 or 7 years, and I am 20. I have tried everything I can imagine, from getting impacted wisdoms removed, to using gse in a neti pot, hydropulse machine and a squirt bottle, sutra neti, had my tonsils and adenoids removed as a child, and I still get tonsil stones, although I try my best to pick them out with an unbent paper clip. I always had a blocked nose and was unable to breath through it, so my ent gave me steroid nasal sprays, which only made my nose bleed and gave me headaches....Thus he did a ct scan and I had chronic sinusitis with polyps...I went ahead and did the septoplasty and fess, and I must say, it was quite the experience....after I say 3 months of nasal rinsing 3/4 times a day and after all the dried crusts and things get out, my breathing has improved tenfold. But I came to find that I still had bb. IDK, this is a tough battle and I can understand what your going through, I graduated last year and im scared to start college that I've been procrasting for a whole year...its rough, but my suggesion to you is: rule out everything you can, as best as you can...1 by 1, and just try to hang on and manage it better...Rhinoplasty, if im correct, is only a appearance thing, so I would be skeptical of that doctor...

All of which he confirmed can cause bad breath. I am hoping he won't give me hard time about getting them removed and doing the sinus surgery. They just want to pump you full of anti-biotics and nose sprays.
Try the nasal irrigation, I think they think some even if by only making me think they help. Be persistant with the doctor and hopefully he'll/she'll start to take the matter seriously.
