Kelly asked:
I seem to have an extremely bad taste in the back of my mouth..(nasal-throat). I occassionally cough up these tiny yellow, stinky balls. (very bad) Would a waterpik help get at these and clean up the back of my oral cavity?
WaterPik Technology to improve bad breath?
The waterpik isn’t designed to clean the back of your mouth, it is used to clean under the gums and between the teeth. So I don’t know if it even could help. Sounds like you should consult a medical doctor or a ENT to see what they recommend. This sounds like an allergy or medical issue rather than a dental issue. I wouldn’t want you to spray water into your throat and have you aspirate it or choke. But bring up the idea when you are seen and see what the doctors have to say!
I would gargle warm salt water at this point, as that will disrupt some bacteria, but most importantly contact a physician.
