Hello,
As per your complain, bad taste in the mouth can be due to causes like oral and dental infections, dry mouth, side effect or allergies to medication or foods, sinusitis, respiratory tract infection, tonsil stones etcetera. I would suggest you consult an oral physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly.
As of now, you can chew flavored sugar-free chewing gum as it helps in stimulating saliva flow as well as it will help in masking the bad taste. You can gargle with flavored mouthwash. You should drink plenty of water. Do steam inhalations with a few drops of eucalyptus oil in boiling water. Avoid excess intake of onion and garlic and other very heavy aroma foods. Maintain good oral hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
