Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Bad taste in mouth can be due to infected gums and if there is a relapse of infection it can be a possible cause for bad taste in mouth..
Side effects of antibiotics can also be a cause for bad taste in mouth..
So first of all get ruled out for the exact cause of the bad taste in mouth and then only it can be resolved by appropriate treatment..
As of now to mask bad taste you can start chewing flavoured sugar free chewing gum..
You can gargle with flavoured antiseptic mouthwash..
You should limit intake of onions and garlic..
You should drink plenty of water..
Take more of Probiotics like Yogurt..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
