What Causes Foul Taste Of Food In The Mouth?

Hi, I recently had a stroke. I am currently going through rehab. to regain use of my left side. But lately I have noticed that food leaves a foul taste in my mouth on the left side. Could this be caused by the stroke, or perhaps a medication I am taking?

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for posting your query at healtcaremagic.com

There are several reason for foul smell.
The first most important is oral hygiene- Try to gargle your mouth many time a day with Luke warm water.
2. Intake of proper food
3. Indigestion can also give foul smell. Drink plenty of water and exercise along with your rehabilitation
4. Due to the stroke, the salavary glands are less active, that can also cause foul smelling

Hope you find my answer informative. If you have any further question, please revert back to me.
Your thank you note is very appreciated!!

Stay active and energetic!!
