BB - Need a cure - Maybe adenoids and tonsils?
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2016 9:19 pm
Hi Guys
I need serious help and need some advice. I have had BB since puberty (between 13-15) and i am now 32. I have a nasty eggy smell which i can always smell - sometimes is ok and sometimes its real bad. It is worse in closed areas and i get conscious when im around people especially at work. I always get comments - did i fart, or did someone fart. The egg fart type smell is the worst.
I think the root cause is my post nasal drips as its constant through the day. The PND is always clear, thick, white and DOES NOT smell if i blow my nose - which is the source ie fresh. However if i was to spit it out it smells very sharpe, metalic, pungent, stale saliva (NOT eggy). Ive used steriod sprays and various things which do not help at all.
Does anyone know what this could be? Is it adenoids which collect bacteria?
Condition
- Post Nasal Drip since i was 15 (now im 32)
- Mucus - Clear white sticky thick mucus from nose - does NOT smell at all if i blow my nose
- My nose area is constantly filled with this mucus all day long
- The mucus i can feel goes from my nose down to my throat.
- Tongue - is coated with thick white film
- Tongue - once cleaned with a scraper/orabrush gets coated again after an hour
Smells - Constantly through the day
- Eggy - I can constantly smell an 'eggy' smell coming from my NOSE
- Eggy - I can constantly smell an 'eggy' smell coming from the BACK of my THROAT if i exhale slowly
- Bitter metalic taste from TONGUE if i rub my fingers on my tongue
- Harsh smell if i rub my finger on my TONSILS
Tests Carried Out
- H Plori - PASS (no issues)
- Allergies - Dust, Milk, Gluten (which i avoid) however i dont know if this causes the PND/BB
- Teeth inspection by dentist - PASS no rotting teath, no excess plaque etc.
- Use of various steroid sprays (dont work)
- Anti Histamines (dont work)
- Thrush - Pass (no signs)
- Acid Reflux - Pass - Average results (also took the stomach tablets for 60 days to see outcome)
Past Operations/procedures
- Nasal Septoplasty
- Turbinate Reduction
Current Cleaning Programme
- Teeth Brush - Twice daily with an Oral B electronic brush
- Tongue - Twice a day scrapped with a metal scrapper and use an Orabrush and i try and get back to the end of my tongue near throat,
- Tablets - K12 Bliss and B12 oral pro biotics
- Avoid sugars and dairy if i can
- Nasal irrigation with salt and baking soda
