Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a bitter taste in my mouth for 3 days. No Chemo, no new drugs. No dry mouth. Take multi vitamin/ minerals daily. Good dental health, regular check ups. Only new things: use of 40 percent deet on skin and skin exposure to roundup herbicide. ???
Bitter taste in mouth can be due to causes like oral Infections and Infection on tongue, acid reflux, while the new herbicide that you are using can be a cause.. So my advise is to first of all take all necessary precautions and follow safety instructions before using pesticide.
Also start gargling with flavoured mouthwash and chew flavoured sugarfree chewing gum.. You should avoid direct exposure to pesticide and always cover your mouth and nose.. Do warm saline gargles.. You can use a tongue scraper to clean your tongue as the particles can accumulate over tongue and cause bitterness..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
