Hi,
Salty taste in your mouth is an indication of
dehydration though it can also be due to some infection(sinus/
glossitis) & stress. Sometimes, it can be due to high blood sugar level when you may have a feeling of dryness/saltiness in your mouth.
Allergy to certain food, latex, mouth trauma &
Herpes Simplex infection may affect the muscles of your tongue. Change brush & tongue cleaner every 2-3 months, avoid addictions(smoking/alcohol), take plenty of water, ORS & other rehydrating fluids, avoid oral sex.
Maintain
oral hygiene. Visit ER, get STI tests done, get evaluated , get treated. You will be treated with antibiotics, antivirals depending upon the severity of the illness. You can take
Acetaminophen (tylenol) to get relieve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K,
