My 37 Year Old Son Is Experiencing A Sour Taste

default
Posted on Mon, 12 Aug 2019
Question: My 37 year old son is experiencing a sour taste in the roof of his mouth which if he doesn't spit it out right away, it causes him to vomit!! This is a real problem which nobody has been able to explain or diagnose. This is happening on a daily basis. I also noticed a dark spot on the roof of his mouth.
He constantly has to spit out the liquid with the awful taste.

Detailed Answer:
Hii. Please consult an ENT surgeon. Your son needs to be checked thoroughly. You need to find out whether there is no infection in the nose or the oral cavity, in the tonsils. It is also necessary to rule out whether he has no infection in the palate or there is no gap in the palate connecting to nose. It is also necessary to find out if there is any infection in the sinus or adenoids which is getting trickled at the back of the nose.He may need to get an endoscopy of nose, any x ray sinus and adenoids. So please consult an ENT surgeon and get thoroughly check up.
