What Does Nasty Taste In Mouth While On Antibiotics For Tooth Abscess Suggest?
Hi.. Can understand your concern.. As per your complain nasty taste in mouth occurs as a side effect of taking certain antibiotics.. It causes altered taste of food items and at times a metallic or an unpleasant taste in mouth.. Mostly the effect of these medicines remains till you take the medicine and slowly withdraws as you discontinue taking the medicine.. You should continue taking the medicine and complete the course.. But if there is some other symptoms along with it or there is intolerable taste in mouth you can consult your dentist and get your medicine changed... Hope your query is solved.. Thanks and regards.. Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora.
