Bitter Taste In Mouth, Dry Mouth, Migraine, Sores In Mouth. Took Antibiotics. What Is The Cure?
Hi. About four months ago I started getting a bitter taste in my mouth accompanied by dry mouth. I have had a headache for almost 3 months. Since then it has gotten worse and worse. Now I have sores in my mouth and migraines. I have tried Sinusitis antibiotics and sprays. With no luck. My dentist said he doesn't think it is a dental problem. Help me :(

Hi,
Your dry mouth and bitter taste could be related to liver or gastric problems, might be due to medications you use to treat migraine. Can do ultrasound of abdomen to rule out liver, gallbladder problems.
Candida infection is also another factor - do culture of oral swab
Diabetes is also to be excluded - run blood sugar tests
Hope it helped!
