Bad breath – Sinus or Acid reflux or both?
I have no idea where my affliction fits in the groups here. I’m trying allergies. Problem : Bad breathBreath alcohol testBreath holding spellBreath odor. 24/7. Dental hygeine : Very good. Dentist’s diagnosis.
I know I have a bad sinus and also acid refluxGastroesophageal reflux diseaseGastroesophageal reflux in infantsHiatal hernia repairReflux nephropathyVesicoureteral reflux.
Sinus problem : Had septoplastySeptoplastySeptoplasty – series, sinus surgery, revision of sinus surgery, uvuloplasty (for snoring problem), tonsillectomy (removed adenoidsAdenoid removal(adenoids) as well). Sinus problem better. But still perpetual drainage from ONLY the right sinus. The mucus is thick after getting up from bed and in cold weather. Mucinex and sinus rinse helps but only a very temporary relief. i.e less than a couple of hours.
Acid reflux : Tried various medications. None very satisfactory. Always a acidic feeling in the back of my throat. Had Fundoplication. Exercised regularly, reduced belly. Acid seems to be mostly under control (about 95% better) because of weight reduction.
The bad breath is so bad, I can barely talk.
Then, I came across N-Acetyl Cysteine. Seems to help my bad breath a lot. (about 80% better). Ofcourse, exercising seems to help my acid reflux and that helps too. So, my questions are 1. Is there a permanent cure? Surgeries did not help and my ENT doesn’t think there’s any more that he can do. 2. Any alternatives? I do not want to take any medication forever. Homeopathy(Thuja) didn’t help any better than Mucinex. 3. What is the scoop on N-Acetyl Cysteine? I have not heard anything bad about this.It is a dietery supplement. So, can I take it for the rest of my life? I’m taking centrum.that supplements the zinc loss and drink a lot of water to avoid renal stones.
HELP!
