What Causes Bitter Taste In Mouth?
Hi its almost two months now I've having this tart taste in my mouth. Its like a taste after you ate a bitter melon. I brush my teeth three times a day and I gargle many times even middle of the night, early morning between 1am -4am and still in there wont go away....

Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic
I understand your concerns
This is probably resulting from the back flow of secretions in the stomach. This mostly happens when the pressure in the stomach is much and when one is lying supine.
To control this situation, you need to adopt some lifestyle modifications like
1) Sitting for about 2 hour after meals before going to bed or lying down
2) Avoid eating too much especially in the evening
I believe these measures would help if you try them
I hope I have answered your query
I wish you well
