How To Treat Joint Pain,tasteless Mouth,bitter Saliva?

3 days ago I started to feed joint pain in my shoulders and arms, slightly feverish, and feeling fatigue. Food is tasteless and saliva taste a bit bitterish. Now not much joint pain but general ache around the shoulder area. No fever now but food still tasteless. What are the likely problem?

HI
AFTER Eating certain foods, taking some types of medication, and vitamin deficiencies can all lead to sour, bad-tasting saliva. Gum disease, infected teeth, and other dental problems may be to blame. Many times a buildup of anaerobic bacteria on the back of the tongue is the culprit, a situation that can be exacerbated by post-nasal drip, chronic dry mouth, or simply a decrease in saliva production during sleep. People with heartburn may also notice a sour taste due to acid and undigested food coming back up to their mouths.BETTER GIVE A VISIT WITH A DENTIST
