STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
MOUTH ODOUR
Goodday, please I’m a regular blog visitor and I have a problem that right now I’m at the edge of suicide cause it’s really serious.
I’m a lady of 28yrs old , I’m suffering from a very terrible mouth odour / bad breath , i started noticing when I was in the university I wasn’t sure if it was there before then but it was during my university days I noticed it even though I can’t perceive anything myself but the Moment I open my mouth to talk to people they hold their nose together immediately, they can’t even hide it which means it’s serious, I breathe into my palm and inside an enclosed container but still I can’t perceive anything.
The most worrisome part is that I have visited dentists both in and outside Nigeria with a lot of treatments still it’s getting worse , I’m beginning to think it’s not ordinary again.
I don’t have any friend, I can’t keep a relationship, even I noticed how my security men usually sniff and turn their heads when I talk to them, I can’t communicate with anyone even market women if I go to buy something in the market to cook they sniff and look at me with bad eye, please help me I lock myself indoors always I can’t do anything..
I’ve tried even herbal treatments, brush countless times a day, floss, talk of anything, I even stopped eating some foods I don’t know what to do again, there’s no treatment or any recommendation I haven’t tried , please I don’t know what to do, I’m very beautiful but I don’t have any friend at all or any relationship I had to stop working because of this shame cause my job requires communication with plenty people a day.
Except if I don’t open my mouth at all to talk to people that’s when this odour doesn’t come but the moment I open my mouth ....I don’t know what else to do.
*Shuo what kind of mouth odour is this?You might have a condition oh...or is it spiritual?I dont know but i have seen people who mouth odour can crack eggs but got better after correct medical diagnosis and care..
Go to a good hospital and also use google to help you understand your condition better...
Please do not kill yourself because of smelling mouth....
God take control o
ReplyDelete🏃... Ire o
Infection maybe. I know some girls wen dey contract Sti there mouth stinks.
DeletePoster, have you tried Ultradex products. They have toothpaste and mouth wash for very strong mouth odour.
DeleteSince you said you have tried a lot health wise and you are not getting results, please try prayers like some bvs are advising. Destiny destroyers use different formats but your God is greater. Please don't do anything to yourself. You will come and give us chronicles of praise soon.
You need a proper medical check up dazzol.
DeletePlus you can use mint while talking to people @work...you need your sanity back, until you fix your problem.
I am so sorry for what you are going through. E
Poster sorry for what you are going through. I suggest you do an aggressive detox...like steady detox for two to three months straight. But on top of that pray as you detox, may God help you.
DeleteDid u date any married man? His wife may have Don juju 4 u
DeleteGosh. Nigerians. Juju? Sti?? Abeg educate yourselves small na. This woman has health condition. Her liver needs to be checked out or she needs to see a dentist
DeleteNawa this is serious. You need to do a full medical so u can check if u have any underline medical condition.
DeleteHope you scrub ur tongue well when you brush. Also use Listerine mouth wash;brushing isnt enough. Then put a tea spoon of salt in warm water,gaggle with it after brushing. Brush and floss after each meal if you can or atleast 3 times a day. I also hope you dont have any tooth decay. Most importantly do u a full medical check-up.
I'm not a dentist.
DeleteTry brushing your teeth 2x daily, use peroxide and mouth wash to gaggle after brushing. I think you should also start flossing. Every time you eat, you floss. You can also mix the peroxide and mouthwash in a container to have with you always. Good luck!
Dear poster, try visiting an ENT doctor. The odor might be secondary result of an infection in your ear, nose and throat or even in your gut.
DeleteDear poster, Brushing, mouthwash, mentols etc probably wont help. Major cause would be malabsorption problem which could be caused by lack of some enzymes in your system. This affects the breakdown of food in your system and causes gas which comes as mouth odour. You need to work with a gastroenterologist. You can see one at Lasuth in Ikeja after this lockdown. They will work with you to find treatment for the problem.
DeletePoster listen to @the best amongsts cuties and anonymous 18.53
DeleteMay be mint chewing gum should become your close friend.
DeleteLemonade will help...what you have is a condition called Halitosis.
DeleteBrush you teeth and tongue twice a day. Each time make sure you get rid of the whites layer of the tongue. The tongue should be pink when you finish brushing it. As for the teeth watch YouTube videos for the perfect technique
DeleteChaiiiiiii !!!! Talk to more doctors and pray to God to help u too. Sorry it is well with u.
ReplyDeletePoster please hang on and dnt let anything get into your head. We all read the lady that had issue with bed wetting and how she over came it. You have to pray. Try other medical care and pray fervently to God. He can heal you.
DeleteThis is why I mostly pity people with mouth odour and not judge them.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend whose wife has mouth odour. He has kukuma just accepted it that way cos she's visited dentists, brushes at least two times a day, so we know it's not about her hygiene.
Poster I hope you find the solution you seek.
Poster, could you please check if you have any kind of ulcer? I can't begin to imagine what you're going through. So sorry dear...
DeleteQuack doctors. If it is not hygiene then the liver is the culprit
DeleteSolutions:
ReplyDelete1. Physical
a. Brush with sensodyne
b. Eat yogurt -to recondition your intestinal flora. Make sure the Yogurt does not have sugar. You can sweeten with honey.
c. Stop consuming all refined sugar; sodas etc.
d. continue flossing
e. Use 50% hydrogen peroxide to rinse and gag after brushing (do not swallow).
Spiritual:
a. Make Jesus your Lord and forgive anyone that has sinned against you.
b. Begin a daily study of the Scriptures especially the New Testament
c. Fast like thrice a week drinking plenty of water. You can start with a fruit fast, if you haven't fasted before.
Grace and blessings to you.
I agree with you. She should also check if she has ulcer. It's well with you poster
DeleteI agree with the poster too,brush your tongue very well get a tongue scrapper or you can use a small tea spoon,go deep as far as you can reach,gargle listerine with hydrogen peroxide daily and spit out.Try oil pulling with coconut oil daily,drink alot of water daily even at night,make sure your mouth is not dry.
DeletePls, always take lemon water instead of normal water and brush with baking soda mixed with lemon juice.
DeleteGod this is sad. I can imagine how you feel. Don't relent on looking for a solution. Since you don't have friends how about family? I pray you find a solution soon. Suicide is never a solution.
ReplyDeleteHa! 🙆♂️🙆♂️
ReplyDeleteOh dear
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about this but suicide isn't an option 😔,
There must be something we can do about this ,
Are you a Christian if yes cast your cares upon the Lord for he cares for you ,
I'd ask around please don't give up .
Did you snatch person husband/boyfriend during your university days or mock anyone because of mouth odour? If yes, find the person ASAP and apologize.
ReplyDelete😆😆😆you guys
DeleteI'm so sorry sis. This is so sad, please don't kill yourself, you'll get better the process might just be slow. Continue your efforts in seeing a specialist in this area, preferably a teaching hospital. This period you're indoors, use it to talk to God for healing. There's nothing prayers can't do.
ReplyDeleteHang in there babe ❤️
Prayers are up for you.
Dear poster mix little amount of hydrogen peroxide with water every morning as mouth wash,afterwards you brush. Thank me later but if it doesn't work,abeg turn it to spiritual warfare.
DeleteSo sorry to hear this, please don't commit suicide oh.
ReplyDeletePlease go to God in prayer concerning this issue, and don't give up on treatment yet.
Try and have any of this strong mint sweet or gum in your mouth, when you are going out, or when you want to communicate with people.
May God deliver you,amen
Please go to a specialist, and a do a medical exam,it might be a symptom of an underlying medical condition.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteMouth odour from the pit of hell
ReplyDeletePoster you want to kill yourself because of mouth odour. Take it easy on yourself, I know is very embarrassing but you will be alright last last.
DeleteCheck if you have a hole in your mouth, is possible you have a rotten teeth. Check to be sure nothing no wound inside your mouth.
Poster, I believe every problem has a solution, so don't give up. My advice is that you see a reputable doctor. If the dentists could not find anything in your mouth, then a hospital can. They are various causes of halitosis;issues with your respiratory/digestive system, gum disease,issues with your organs etc. It could be anything,your life is more important and precious than the smell of your breath. Also seek the support of your family, you ll feel less dejected. Best wishes
ReplyDeleteAvoid sweets/ mints,it ll worsen it. try natural foods like garden eggs, cucumbers. Drink water regularly too
DeleteMe am thinking it is spiritual oo. Try long rich mouth odour product. It is very good.
ReplyDeletePlease keep praying about it. And never think of suicide. God will give you victory.
Sister keep your head up
Hi Poster. I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through but please stop thinking about killing yourself.Think more of a few years later than this ordeal will be behind you. Just as Stella said read every thing you can in mouth odour on the internet, apply them as you already are, always have this mouth fresher around you and spray in your mouth every one hour. Always be licking mentol like sweets. Talk more often, closed mouths yhey say smells. Above all Consciously be praying about it. Add fastings and prayers to your treatments. Hey a friend, doctor or sibling thay can help you be monitoring the improvements. A very factual and objective person. May whatever you believe in help you and come throughfoe you
ReplyDeleteGoogle your condition n when did this start? From birth or when? If not from birth buh during adulthood, check if you offended anyone that cursed u?? Take it to God in prayers.
ReplyDeleteYou can try the doctors again but I will advice you wake up at night and pray about it ,talk to talk ,He created you and he alone has divine corrects measures,it has worked for me so I can tell you to wake up at night go pray about it,If you have your anointing oil,pls drink it daily,a little portion from the cover,you will testify because when all medicals fail,God never fails.
ReplyDeletePoster pls pray. Nothing God cannot do.
DeleteMadam since you've tired everything and it failed,have you tried God? If you're a believer take it to the Lord in prayer and fasting. There's nothing impossible for our God to do. Fast from 6-12pm daily. Read psalms and meditate on the words of God. He said is there no balm in Gilead? Why are my people suffering afflictions? Call on the balm of Gilead after you break your fast and in the midnight to heal you of halitosis. And finally try and see Drs in teaching hospitals. They need to check your intestinal organs. The smell might be coming from your bowels. You also need to detoxify yourself, make sure you move your bowel twice a day and above drink lots and lots of water. You will be fine in Jesus name. Pls hang in there and never ever contemplate suicide. Your testimony is loading. Ehugs😍😍😍😍😍
ReplyDeletePoster take this 👆advice and many good ones i know would be shared on here. Please don't think of suicide and let the devil winc, as long as there is life then there is hope. You can beat this! if you have tried all you can then go to God in prayers. Do a detox, drink tons of water, brush twice/thrice a day (your tongue as well) and chew gums with mentol when you are out, above all talk to God about it and I promise He will make it right...if you need to talk I'm here❤😙🤗
DeleteEssa you are a kind soul
DeleteDont beat yourself about it, since you have tried different dental clinics, I think you should pray about it and also do your part by practicing good hygiene, brush your teeth in the morning and before you sleep at night, try to brush your tongue as well. Dont leave you mouth closed for so long, either get gums or menthol to lick for fresh breath
ReplyDeleteprobably spiritual to prevent you from getting married,someone may have cast it on you
ReplyDeleteIt's well with you poster
ReplyDeleteSince all medicals have failed,wake up at night talk to God and pray about it,He created you ,He only has divine corrects measures that cannot fail ,if you have anointing oil,drink a little portion of it using the cap cover daily,you will testify,midnight prayers has been working for me and I can billy recommend it for you ,believe and see the goodness of God
ReplyDeleteThis is sad ooo☹️☹️☹️I pray you find a solution soon and please suicide is never an option
ReplyDeletePoster, since you've tried every know physical means and it didn't work. Then take it to God in prayers,better still fast and pray till you get a result. This means never disappoints.
ReplyDeleteIts Probably a medical thing. Maybe acid reflux or u have an ulcer. Go see a gastroenterologist. Kpele it is well.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to what Anon 15:08 has advised, you can try chewing bitter kola like thrice a day and see if you will see a difference. It's well
ReplyDeleteThis is serious. God please help her out.
ReplyDeleteAwww...I have never heard of such MO before. And to think u have been in and out of Naija for solution...hmm.
ReplyDeleteIf u are Yoruba, maybe u visit one these their alfas at least to know if it's something spiritual. Mind u, I'm not Yoruba so I'm only saying based on what I see in their movies.
I pray the good Lord help you to overcome this challenge. Biko, do not kill yourself, u will surely get your healing.
N.B...ask around for Longrich toothpaste, I heard it does wonders.
Alfa and good Lord don't mix o
DeleteDear poster pls see a homeopath, a natural medicine practitioner there is a low cost clinic in Neals Yard, Convent Garden, London they will charge £20 per consultation and remedy
DeleteSometimes persistent mouth odur occurs from chronic stress, traumatic sexual abuse, enzyme malfunction etc and there are simple natural remedies that can help. Google Centre of Homeopathic Education and call them for a skpe appointment
Try chewing mint gum always. It helps with good breath.
ReplyDeletePlease don't take your life, it's not worth it. Keep seeking medical solutions. Pray and fast too. Try to stay healthy and wear a mask when going out. Again it may be spiritual. Try to remember if you offended anyone with your actions or words, seek for forgiveness. You said it started when u were in the university, Maybe it's a man u turned down or spoke to rudely, a family member or friend u clashed with or anyone (just saying but u have to seek for the truth.)
ReplyDeleteAsk GOD to reveal where it came from ,do midnight prayer
DeleteSeek and you will find
See gastrointestinal specialist
DeleteThs is so sad. I think you should go to a General hospital to see a consultant in the Ear Nose and Troat unit or oral care/dentists.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there will be a solution to your challenges and please be prayerful.
Don't be depress their is nothing God can't do. I pray God will help you find a solution.
I will remember you in my prayers
Please take this up spiritually.....
ReplyDeleteI pray that you'll be healed in Jesus name. There's nothing God cannot do. Receive your healing dear
ReplyDeletePoster, E_hugs to you. Please don't give up and stop thinking about suicide.
ReplyDeleteThere's no problem without solution in this life although it might take time. Visit more hospitals and I know you will definitely find solution.
What of your family?? Please in all, pray about it and ask God to heal you and direct you to the right hospital.
It's well with you.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Halitosis: you may have a lot of work to do from inside. Aside seeing your doctors you see for home remedies like drinking apple cider vinegar twice a day. Though you said you have visited dentists hope you don't have any bad tooth or cavities. Best wishes
ReplyDeletePoster just eat healthy since you have tried its well
ReplyDeletePoster,so sorry for your predicament.Have you tried liquid chlorophyll,chewing cloves,Cb 12 mouth wash?It is very effective trust me.Above all,start serious fasting and prayer against the spirit of shame and ridicule. Always pray psalms 51,32,6 for forgiveness of sins and for God to touch the heart of whomever has done it to you because it might not be ordinary. It is well with you dear.
ReplyDeleteGo and buy MSM thank me now . Use it to brush and leave it for a while before you start brushing. Start taking one scoop for starters a day and slowly increase to two scoops Pele dear
ReplyDeleteYour gut needs to be checked. For now I will recommend oral an toothpaste with mint!!! Life saver
ReplyDeleteposter,shall we try a psychiatrist? I can bet you 100k that you only perceive that you have mouth odour whilst you havent got any.
ReplyDeletesince you have tried dentists,why not try it my way?
Very true.... A lot of people fear they have mouth odor while they actually don’t....
DeletePlease try and take water every morning when you wake up. Let it be the first thing you take before even brushing. Ensure you deworm yourself regularly. Most mouth odour comes from the stomach. Bitter kollar and mint gums also helps. It's well
ReplyDeleteHalitosis is the name of the condition. More common than you think. Please invest in a good physician/dentist. All the best
ReplyDeletePoster stay strong.
ReplyDeleteTry this
Get enough ginger and garilic,peel,blend and sieve.
Then boil it like 5mins and drink it first thing in the morning and night.
Do it like one month ,let's see how it works.
This is critical....take it to God in prayers.
ReplyDeleteBrush your tongue,especially the inner palate like your life depends on it,I usually don't eat b4 brushing so I can concentrate on my tongue without gagging, avoid eating foods spiced with too much onions,garlic, and cabbage, always have a minty chew gum in your mouth when going out, drink plenty of water constantly if possible with a little squirt of lemon or lime, try detoxifying your system from time to time and don't forget to use mouth spray/ mouth wash especially if you have been quiet for a long time.
ReplyDeleteNo need for suicide sis.i had something like dat wen I was younger,so pray,give your life to JESUS CHRIST.FAST PRAY COMMAND EVERY SPIRIT OF BAD BREATH TO LEAVE YOU,IN FAITH YOU WILL SEE GOD'S WONDER.BRUSH DAY N NIGHT AFTER UR LAST MEAL.THEN CHEW CHEWING STICK BEFORE GOING TO BED.YOU WILL BE FINE.
ReplyDeletePlease use this product, EUTHYMOL toothpaste. They are sold in Ebeano supermarket or certain selected pharmacy store and use it twice a day, at the beginning you will not see any progress at first but continue using for a period of 6 months and you can supplement it with other toothpaste brands after 6 months. Trust it works.
ReplyDeleteEuthymol is super good!
DeletePlease dear poster, this is spiritual battle. You need to go back to your creator in prayer. This similar things have happened to a friend of mine during our University days. After our year two, babe suddenly develop serious halitosis. She tried so many medication but to no avail. Until l advised her to take it to God in prayer. She started going to early morning Mass with me. I also told her to start receiving holy Communion, that I believe that Jesus in the holy Eucharist will not allow such odour to be coming out from her mouth after receiving it. With faith, the babe key into that. That's how the battle was won.
ReplyDeleteIt is well with you poster.
ReplyDeletePoster, prayer is key. Pray and fast to your creator, there's nothing God can't do. Always take lemon water. Also visit the hospital again for proper checkup. It is well with you
ReplyDeleteI wonder which one is worse.bedwetting and halitosis
ReplyDeletePlease Stella, post this directly to the poster as I am worried she might not notice this among all the other responses.
ReplyDeleteI think I understand the type of problem you have as I had the same thing but eventually cured it by removing my tonsils. If you look at the back of your throat carefully in a mirror, do you have whitish spots on your tonsils (right at the back of your throat)? Tonsils are actually covered in little holes which go right in and sometimes in some people a lot of food and bacterial debris builds up in them. Sometimes it is obvious when you look at the tonsils, you notice the white dots which if you squeeze/poke with a toothbrush will ooze out something white and hardish. I went through hell before I figured out what it was an convinced an ENT doctor to take out my tonsils. I got someone to admit to me that it smelt like poo once I opened my mouth to speak (so people probably thing you are farting everytime you speak). Once I took out my tonsils, that was it, poof - problem cured. I still worry that maybe I am imagining it, that the problem still exists as I had it for over 10 years. Everytime I spoke to people they either held their nose or put a finger under their nose. If I was in a car with someone, once I started talking they would open a window even if the ac was on. It was horrible. If you google tonsil stones you will find out more about them. I tried gaggling with all sorts of solutions, pressing the stones out etc but the only thing that cured it was pretending to an ent doctor that I was always having sore throats and it was very painful (when I told one it was to cure bad breath they refused to remove it that they were the experts and tonsil stones do not cause bad breath). I lied in the end that it was because of sore throats and boom my problem was cured. Do not despair, I went through a lot and whenever I meet people with a similar problem I promised myself I will tell them what my solution was as doctors do not seem to accept that there is a link between them (don't ask me how intelligent you need to be to figure that if you have muck stuck in the holes on your tonsils, it must stick up a storm in your mouth, but ALL doctors in my experience insisted this was not the case but I proved them wrong).
have you tried God, why not pure out your heart to him, pray with psalm 109 and psalm 91 but you must be clean spiritually before embarking on such prayers.
ReplyDeletePoster please meet any Edmark dealer and buy Splina Liquid Chlorophyll from them, keep taking it sometimes raw and also mixed with water. Inquire more on how to take it and continue with it for like two months +. If this is a medical issue, trust me, Splina
ReplyDeletewill change your story.
Dear girly its so sad you are going through this lemme tell you my boyfriend had this same problem but guess what when he brushes his mouth, he does not cough out the phlegm in his throat, i asked him if he did he said no that it was disgusting for him, but i told him to learn to do it. and viola his horrible bad breathe stopped. so why not try this, while brushing your tongue cough out the phlegm because it is an old bacteria that usually cause that smell. all the best also pray about it
ReplyDeletePoster I am so sorry to have read what you are going through. I try to imagine how life has been with you. I have seen this case before, I will recommend you see a gastroenterologist. They are fews in the country. Google avlsc, that the best place for you to visit at this point. Goodluck
ReplyDeleteI'm a Dentist. What you have is called Halitosis. A lot factors can cause halitosis which can be grouped into systemic and local factor.The systemic can range from GIT ,nose , drugs that reduces salivary flow etc. It could be local ranging from food with bad smell like garlic, onions etc Poor oral hygiene,bad tooth, ulcers in the mouth. Pseudohalithosis is a psychological problem only the person feels so.My question: Have you ever been told you have bad breadth or is it just their reaction that makes you feel so.Please if you have visited real professional Dentist who must ruled out all the causes, I suggest you see a psychologist. I believe that may help you.
ReplyDeleteHello Poster,
ReplyDeleteHere's my take on this. It appears you have exhausted dental options, but not others. Halitosis often results from oral and non-oral causes. For example, if you have a small pouch in your pharynx, food can collect there and cause this. There are certain Lung, and abdominal conditions that can cause this as well. You need to be properly investigated by multiple specialists. My recommendation will be to see an ENT, Respiratory and Gastrointestinal specialists.

TONSILOLITH. That is what you have.
ReplyDeleteA tonsilolith is a tonsil stone. When we eat food and swallow, some of it becomes lodged in the tonsil. It then calcifies and this is what gives bad breath. If you examine your tonsils, you may see white small balls; and are quite hard.
You can have the tonsiloliths taken out by a dentist. But be careful, not all dentists know how to extract them.
If during extraction you swallow them....trust me, you will want to vomit 50 times. They stink like mad mad mad.
Tonsiloliths cannot be cured by eating well, or brushing 20 times, or chewing gum.
If you have recurring tonsiloliths, you need to have your tonsils removed.
Google tonsil stones or tonsiloliths for more info
Its obvious you dont poo regularly cos the odour os from your bowels. Detox at least once a week dear
ReplyDeleteDear poster, so sorry about what you are going through. However, it's likely not truly mouth odour you are having. It's likely Olfactory reference syndrome, I'll advise you see a neuropsychiatrist quickly especially as you have started thinking of suicide.. Below is what I copied from Wikipedia:
ReplyDeleteOlfactory reference syndrome (ORS) is a psychiatric condition in which there is a persistent false belief and preoccupation with the idea of emitting abnormal body odors which the patient thinks are foul and offensive to other individuals.[1][2] People with this condition often misinterpret others' behaviors, e.g. sniffing, touching nose or opening a window, as being referential to an unpleasant body odor which in reality is non-existent and can not be detected by other people.
This disorder is often accompanied by shame, embarrassment, significant distress, avoidance behavior, social phobia and social isolation.[3]
First and foremost avoid constipation .Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables so that your bowels are clean constantly .Secondly make sure your sinuses are not infected .It might be a sinus problem whereby mucus is draining into the back of your throat thereby causing the smell .Antibiotics and gargling with hot salt water deep into the throat can clear that .Thirdly chew cucumber and a little bit of lemon before you go out.Finally buy Thera breath oral rinse and Thera Breathe toothpaste .Follow all these steps and you will be fine .god bless you .
ReplyDeleteGet tested for h. Pylori infection. I suspect that's the case which is why a dentist won't see anything wrong. It's a common stomach infection that people live with.
ReplyDeleteAlso practice good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth, scrape your tongue, floss your teeth and use mouthwash. At least twice a day
