Hi welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Bad taste in mouth can be due to
oral thrush(fungal infection in mouth)
Infected gums
Oral ulcer
Infected roots of teeth
Indigestion and acidity
Smoking and tobacco
Eating too much--garlic,radish, onions.
Please examine your mouth properly to rule out these causes and if possible send a picture.
Are there any stomach problems/constipation?
