I have a bitter taste in my mouth now for two days. What could it be?

Question

I was wondering if it could indicate something as I have had this before.

Pregnant.no
Malria.......NO
Tooth decay...no
A lemon in my mouth? ....nope...that is in my gin, and yes the bitter taste is still there!!

No I don't have upset stomach. Definately not tooth decay. It's not an after taste, it is approaching three days. Its getting worse though. It's not medication.............I give up. Thanks anyway x

Answer 1

Although you say it couldn't be tooth decay, are you 100% sure about that? It is the most common cause of a bad taste in the mouth.

If you also have heartburn or upset stomach, could be due to gastritis, GERD (acid reflux).

If you are now or have recently been taking certain medications, could be from that.

If you are a habitual drug user, and are past your time for a fix, it could be early withdrawals.

If your skin is also yellow, could be jaundice.

If you have a cold or allergies, post nasal drip will leave a bitter taste.

Lead poisoning, oral bleeding, and scombroid poisoning can all give a metallic taste.....

Or it could just be something you ate that left a bitter after-taste....

Sounds to me like you have an infection. Bitter taste followed by a bad taste is the infection draining from somewhere in your mouth. There are a bunch of things that you could have. An Abscess that burst. Periodontal disease etc... The best thing is to go get checked out, so they can figure out what it is so it does not progress.

Hi,
The food that you swallow travels down your throat and is pushed by contractions of the muscular esophagus. In the area where the esophagus joins the stomach a valve-like mechanism, known as lower esophageal sphincter (LES), is located. The closure of this muscle prevents stomach acid from backing up, or refluxing, into the esophagus. LES malfunction is the first factor that causes and contributes to gastro-esophageal reflux disease. In a healthy individual, the LES relaxes only when food passes from the esophagus into the stomach. After the food passes into the stomach, the valve shuts off, keeping the stomach content and acid inside. However, when the LES is weak and doesn't close properly, acid can splash up into your throat causing painful burning sensation, called heartburn.

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/i3PXG
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.
