What Causes Bitter Taste In My Mouth?

Sometimes I get a bitter taste in my mouth, especially if I eat French fries from a fast food place. Tonight I ate some fried chicken I got at grocery, again bitter taste in my mouth. I tried eating a cookie thinking I could rid of the bitter taste, even the cookie tasted bitter.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that bitter taste in mouth can be due to causes like any oral or dental infections, poor oral hygiene, side effects of medicines if you take any, acid reflux, allergies etc..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like oral swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
Treatment of underlying cause can help in resolution of symptoms..

As of now you can start chewing sugarfree chewing gums..
Do antiseptic mouthwash gargles..
Drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
