What is good for bad breath after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy surgery?

Good brushing habits, of course. Get a tongue brush, or just use your toothbrush (Will diminish quality of brush quicker than getting a special tongue brush) and wash your tongue (As much as you can get).

Chew on sugarless gum, suck on lozenges, drink plenty of water A moist mouth keeps the bacteria flora at bay.

I've also heard eat garlic or take garlic supplements to treat bad breath on a more internal level but, then you have to worry about garlic breath.

wow...how funny i just assisted in a tonsilectomy/adenoidectomy procedure today at work..

ne ways bad breath usually starts on your tongue....so just brush your tongue...

Nothing. All you can do is run its course.

try chewing parsley it is a natural breath freshener.

Gargle a cup of lukewarm water mixed with salt or half a lemon juice.This is best done before going to bed. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/
