Hi Martina,
So sorry to read about your current medical condition and would like to suggest that you do an on-line search for your symptoms. People on this blog mostly write about their personal experience with bad breath. I sincerely hope you get an early diagnosis so that you can start to treat the problems asap. Good luck!

I don't know where you're located, Martina, what is the status quo with your health service. What I WOULD advise, though, is that you seek a second opinion regarding your persistent symptoms. Recurrent swelling of glands and continual need to swallow should not be dismissed lightly. Please don't be put off by the response you had to your initial post here. If most,' people,' use this forum to discuss problems with bad breath, then let them do so. Not everyone visiting this forum has such problems. Nor should a first-time visitor be so easily dismissed as you seem to have been.
I've passed through menopause, my friend - and I can tell you that NOTHING I experienced during the long years it took to complete was anything like what you're going through.
Please don't take the advice offered that you do an online search for your symptoms. Yes, Internet can be useful in sorting out basic medical issues. BUT it can also lead to unnecessary fear. Consulting a real physician is always best.
I didn't sign-up to this forum to discuss bad breath. I signed-up in hope of finding advice concerning life-altering dental surgery. I didn't get any advice - and made a decision that has left me in misery.
Don't rely on the Internet, martina. It's dodgy!
I'm here if you need to talk further.
I have an infection in my throat tonsils and acid reflux im on tablets.. b12 is high he said and im to stay on my injections every 8 weeks.. folic acid was 6.0 now its 8.6,
