Fix Your Post Nasal Drip - Fix Your Bad Breath

Have you ever experienced the feeling of mucus collecting in your throat or dripping from the back of your nose? That is what we call Post Nasal Drip. For most people, this condition begins in the nose - actually, about 90% of bacteria that leads to infections and irritations comes through the nose and travel through the nasal passages.

Post Nasal Drip is annoying and often causes pain. It can be fought off with certain nasal sprays that give you relief from the pain and help to manage the sinus infection that was caused by things such as pollutants and allergens.

Post Nasal Drip takes its course when when the sinuses start making too much mucus. In many cases, PND is actually to blame for halitosis, or bad breath originating from the back of the tongue.

Here are some warning signs and symptoms you should look for if you think you are experiencing Post Nasal Drip:

1) Do you swallow frequently?

2) Do you feel a prickling sensation in your throat?

3) Do your nasal and sinus passages feel blocked at all?

4) Do you have a sore throat that just keeps coming back?

5) Have you found crystals of a yellow or white color in your tonsils?

6) Do you notice that your breath smells lately?

Many things are linked to halitosis, or bad breath. Some of those things are Post Nasal Drip, an overproduction of mucus, and issues in the sinuses.

Individuals who suffer from those particular conditions tend to have foul breath and a nasty taste in their mouth (often times a metallic taste) because the bacteria in their mouths feed off of the mucus. The best treatment for Post Nasal Drip is pulsating nasal irrigation with a saline solution.

Although PND is a occurs frequently, if the nasal cavities are not rinsed or somehow flushed on a regular basis, the buildup will not go away and it will lead to many more serious health issues. Nasal congestion is bound to occur, as well as sinus infections and swellings that cause headaches.

The bacteria that is to blame for bad breath is actually in your mouth for a reason - its job is to break down the protein from the food that you put into your mouth. The bad breath begins when these bacteria are mixed with the amino acids called cysteine and methionine. When they come into contact, odorous sulfur compounds are given off from the rear of the tongue and throat, causing foul breath to pour out of your mouth.
