    Sinus Drainage Bad Breath

    Cleanliness, perfection, and fragrance are the embodiment of a modern, civilized person. Bad breath - or halitosis, in medical terminology - can hinder that image you're trying to project. Not only that, but it can also seriously hamper you from forming social relations with other individuals as you might be too embarrassed to talk to anybody or others are turned off by the offensive odor.

    How to solve this problem?

    Well, the only technique to really solve this problem is to identify the cause. There are a lot possible causes of bad breath from the foods that you eat to inappropriate oral cleanliness (or lack thereof) and certain underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, periodontal disease (gum disease), among others.

    But probably second only to foods and hygiene, the the bulk common factor related with bad breath is the sinus drainage. Experts say that 85 to 90 % of people with bad breath have this stench coming from their mouths. Rarely do you observe cases where bad breath comes out of the nose. When they do, this condition is actually caused by sinus drainage bad breath.

    What is Sinus Drainage Bad Breath?

    Sinus drainage bad breath is little more than a symptom of sinusitis, a condition where in the sinuses become infected or inflamed. It can be due to a viral infection, as in the case of colds, or to allergens, as in the case of allergies. Sometimes, sinusitis may even be associated to asthma attacks. Whatever the cause, sinusitis more often than not leads to sinus drainage bad breath.

    How Sinus Drainage Bad Breath Occurs

    Whenever a person gets sinusitis, the mucus lining of the sinuses become irritated and beginning to produce excessive amounts of mucus. A common person periodically produces mucus to keep the nasal passages clean and clear. However, when these mucus linings are irritated, they go on overdrive and produce too much mucus, causing a average sinusitis symptom called postnasal drip, which in turn could lead to sinus drainage bad breath.

    Furthermore, the infection causing sinusitis may also cause soreness of the nasal passages. These nasal passages connect with the nose via your sinuses to let air into the lungs. When these nasal passages are inflamed, the channel is narrowed as a result of congestion, thus adding to the whole problem by blocking the common drainage of mucus. As a result, the mucus gets trapped within these nasal passages and starts to attract bacteria, which thrive on dark, damp places.

    These bacteria will proliferate and excrete waste items that contain noxious sulfur compounds causing sinus drainage bad breath.

    Treatment

    In order to treat sinus drainage bad breath, you may consider medications usually taken to treat the symptoms of sinusitis. Over the counter nasal sprays, antihistamines, and decongestants work by relieving soreness and congestion and drying surplus mucus.
