When our mouth is clean, it usually does not smell or stink, but sometimes you may notice that a bad smell comes from the mouth or nose, especially when the breath is pulled upwards. This smell is very pungent. When this happens, breathing becomes difficult. Here, we will tell you why sometimes a bad smell rises from the mouth or nose.
In the DailyMail report, Dr Ellie Cannon addressed this and said that trillions of microorganisms are buzzing around us. Countless of these bacteria enter our mouths. Most microorganisms are destroyed by the systems in our mouth and nose such as saliva, enzymes, etc. This way we remain protected from diseases.
Despite all this, however, some bacteria, fungi, etc. still get into the mouth. If they settle in the back of your mouth or nose for several days and then some of them die, a very bad smell develops. This is a very unpleasant situation. These bacteria or microorganisms also get into the nose, throat, tonsils and sinuses. If there are too many of them and only two or three remain, this causes a cold and cough.
Dr Ellie Cannon added that there is a very simple treatment, but we generally ignore it. He said that if a bad smell comes from the throat or nose, you should immediately gargle with salt and lukewarm water. If you do this two to three times a day, this smell will be eliminated. But even after that, you can take antibiotics if the smell is still there.
However, antibiotics should not be taken without medical advice. Apart from that, it is important to thoroughly clean the mouth and nose in case of a bad smell. To do this, use steam. The exposure to the vapour cleans the mouth and nose and eliminates all bacteria that could be hidden somewhere.
