Hello,

For years I have been battling bad breath that I think is due to tonsil stones and PND/throat mucus. I brush my teeth religiously and scrape a ton of white/yellow gunk off of my tongue every morning and night, but my breath is still awful. I'm wondering if I should get a tonsillectomy and maybe sinus surgery to help with this? I don't know what the tongue coating is from, but I get it all day every day and within a few minutes of scraping it off, it comes back, along with the bad breath. I've taken antihistamines/mucinex, but to no avail. I'm not sure what else I can do. Please, someone tell me that surgery cured them! Thank you.
