Clearing the Air: Understanding and Treating Bad Breath from the Throat
Drinking plenty of water can also help prevent tonsil stones and bad breath. Staying hydrated helps keep the mouth moist, reducing the risk of bacterial overgrowth and the formation of tonsil stones.

Managing chronic disease-related bad breath involves addressing the underlying condition. This may involve making lifestyle changes, such as managing blood sugar levels in diabetes or following a specific diet for kidney or liver disease. It is important to work closely with your healthcare provider to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

Sadly, the term bad breath does not need much explanation. You inherently know what we mean because you have probably experienced it either for yourself or through a loved one. We understand the adjective bad to mean that the odor of bad breath is unpleasant or offensive. While we can certainly smell someone’s mouth odor when they breathe, we also detect it during speaking and laughing.
The Role of Diet in Preventing Bad Breath

Tonsils are the two protruding tissue masses at the back of your throat. Tonsillectomy means the removal of the tonsils from the back of your throat. The concerns about removing the tonsils include concerns about immunity and the possibility of antibiotic advancement.
Many tonsil stones, especially those that don’t have symptoms, don’t need special treatment. It depends on their size and whether they might cause you trouble.
As stated above, tonsils have many gaps, pits, and crevices known as tonsillar crypts. They trap viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other germs and make the immune system fight infections. Sometimes, crevices can add debris such as bacteria, food, and dead cells, leading to calcium build-up forming the stones.
Always make an appointment with a medical professional at the first signs of illness, as breath that smells like ammonia will not subside until the underlying cause is treated. Until then, brushing and flossing daily, and cleaning your tongue can help fight the buildup of bacteria in the mouth. As well, drinking lots of water, avoiding tobacco products, and chewing sugar-free gum can mask any unpleasant odours.
Doctors may recommend antibiotics. It helps lower the bacteria count, leading to tonsil stones development. However, the biofilms or hardened structures of the stones can resist antibiotics.
Millions of people – an estimated 1 in 4 people globally – suffer from chronic bad breath/ halitosis. It can cause embarrassment and anxiety, but it’s relatively easy to remedy.
People who have long-term tonsillitis are more likely to get tonsil stones. The only way to prevent them is to remove your tonsils.
