Red dots on the back of my tongue and bad breath. What's causing it?
Do you have your tonsils? Dude I'm seriously exactly like you (if you have your tonsils hehe) I have those same bumps on the back of my tongue but the only difference is I've had bad breath for all my life (24 now). If you do have your tonsils, keep reading. If not, well read anyways because the solutions might be the same! If you have tonsil stones, I won't cover everything because it's all covered at http://www.tonsil-help.com but essentially you have tonsil stones. They're small white clumps that form in your tonsils, especially if you have post nasal drip (mucus running down the back of your throat) and cause absolutely horrible chronic, ALL THE TIME bad breath. Now if you don't have your tonsils, I'm not sure exactly the reasoning why there's so many, gum disease, adenoid problems etc. There's ALOT of stuff out there that just DOESN'T work (therabreath, breathrx, profresh) seriously the BEST cure for bad breath that I've found whether tonsil or non-tonsil related is grapefruit seed extract! Gargled three times a day to start (diluted) This stuff is widely available over many major online retailers and is CHEAP! like 8 or 9 bucks for a small bottle of it. If you'd like more information my site did a review on it here http://www.tonsil-help.com/tonsil-stones/grapefruit-seed-extract-tonsil-stones-prevention/ Take Care I hope some of this can help you - Josh
Why is my nipple piercing extracting pus?
This is actually pretty normal. You have a foreign object in your body which creates an opening for dirt and other stuff to get in, so what looks like puss is just your body's way of cleaning out that gunk as well as dead skin cells. As long as it doesn't show signs of infection, you're good! Just keep soaking as frequently as possible in warm water with a pinch of salt for 20 minutes at a time to keep it infection-free, and to draw out that stuff.
How do people who don't pick their nose get rid of mucus and all the dirty stuff in their nose?
For those people who never pick their nose,I wonder how do they get rid of all the mucus and dirty stuff out of their nose all the time. Does the nose absorb them to the body again? Or they will slowly go away/decompse and new ones form as you keep breathing? Is it better to pick my nose or not?When one is healthy the mucus normally produced just gets swallowed (about 1 to 1.5 quarts). It is perfectly normal and not noticed. Mucus is actually very important to one’s health.Generally the need to blow one’s nose arises when more mucus than usual/normal is produced due to some irritants, allergies or infection. And/or when it has become thicker due to the same reasons. Then the nose can become stuffed up (also the lining can swell somewhat).Picking one’s nose is not necessary at all unless you have some dried mucus that is bothering you and has not been dislodged by blowing your nose. Actually you can end up scratching the inside of your nose if you’re not careful.Only a very small amount is actually reachable anyway since most of it drains down the esophagus to the stomach.If it didn’t, and it came out of the nose, you would have to be walking around holding a small bucket under your nose all day to catch it all.“Even when you're healthy, your body is a mucus-making machine, churning out about 1 to 1.5 liters of the stuff every day. Most of that mucus trickles down your throat and you don't even notice it.” Mucus (Snot, Phlegm) Color, Function, Coughing, and More“1) You produce about 1.5 quarts of mucus a day — and swallow the vast majorityMost of us think of mucus as something that leaks from our nose, but the truth is that it also gets secreted in your trachea and other tubes that carry air through your lungs, where it's technically called phlegm. Wherever it's produced, mucus is a mix of water and proteins, and most of it gets pushed to the back of your throat by microscopic hairs called cilia.” Mucus is gross. But here are 9 things you should know about it.
Persistent cough following pneumonia?
Dear Professo...Your doc in a box is most likely correct. As a part of your airway (upper to lower) being invaded by viral or bacterial critters your immune system is (and rightly so) in hyperdrive alert. Their are different sectors in that immune system to deal with different insults and invasions to our bodies. likewise there are different receptor sites in different tissues of the body. Your airway is highly specialized to reduce the likelihood of what just happened to you. As a part of the injury and immune response you like me and a zillion other people may develop spastic airways (bronchospasm). I can get this response out of now where. Soooooo...you my friend are most likely having a post-pneumonia bronchospasm response. Again, this is very commom. Clinicians like to call this asthma, because technically it is. For those who can't tolerate any inconvenience then inhalers (b-agonist to corticosteroid) absolutely cut short the spasm course. Grandma's treatment of hot water (some like lemon tea or whatever), but its the heat that relaxes the airway from the epiglottis and down. Going out side on a cold foggy night conversely make the symptoms worse. Have a safe journey!
Can constipation cause acne?
Yes. But not in all cases. It depends on what causes your acne.In my case it was constipation. I tried everything except clearing my bowls. From prescriptions to home remedies. Washing my face with lemon juice, being extra clean about everything, washing my face 2–3 times. Drinking turmeric and what not.At last, I stopped getting them but I couldn't figure out how it happened and then they started appearing again. Finally, I did some research and took ‘Amla’ juice after meals everyday, which helps in curing constipation. And BAM! Stopped.But that really doesn't mean, it will be same in your case. I don't even wash my face more than once now and even sleep on my stomach, not caring about germs and all that. Still, the only time I get acne is that time of the month, unlike earlier when it was a new pimple every couple of days.My acne was also caused my eating eggs, dairy wasn't much of a big deal.So, acne CAN be caused by constipation BUT there are also other reasons and not everyone is same.
Bad breath from Bulimia. Please help me.?
I've been bulimic for almost 2 years now. I'm working on it really hard with my boyfriend for the last 6 months & have really approved, but there are some days where I break down & relapse & it feels like I have to start all over again. Especially with my breath situation. For the last 8 months my breath has just REAKED. Especially in the morning. I'm a very clean person. Brush, floss & scrape my tongue twice a day every day, etc. I even carry & use half a pack of gum to cover up my breathe during the day. But I'm getting fed up with this. I went to a nose, ear & throat doctor a couple months ago & told her about my bulimia & bad breath & she gave me stomach neutralizers that I should take in he morning & before I go to sleep, but I take lots of vitamins & the vitamins + the stomach neutralizers make me dizzy & send me running the the bathroom to vomit more. (obviously not purposely) I want to know will this heal over time? (a period of not throwing up, obviously) & how much time do you think? Or will this never go away? I'm pretty sure its a stomach acid problem, thats what my doctor told me. I REALLY don't want to go to another doctor because the last doctor I went to made me feel so awkward & wasn't very nice to me about the situation. Long answers are welcome, I really really appreciate everything. Thanks.
