i've been having this bad taste in my mouth for over a week ever since cleaning up, there was heavy dust in the area, and it upset my allergies making me sneeze and cough. i'm assuming some dust got in my throat and i have to keep spitting . i always brush my teeth day and night, floss use mouth wash( i don't think i have a tooth infection). i gargled w/ salt water twice this week. do you think if i keep on gargling w/ salt water this bad taste will go away? or is there something else i should try?

A bad taste can indicate several problems. You may well just have post nasal drip from the dust allergies (I have dust and mold allergy too). But, it can also indicate an infection of the sinus, tonsils, strep throat of even in your ear, or a bad tooth. Those of us who have allergies fight these things all the time. So, if its still there next week see the doctor.

I'm not sure about the Wellbutrin but it could be a side effect. With being sick though, I would think it's coming from your sinuses draining. Give your doc or pharmacist a call and ask about the side effects of the medicine and ask about the taste. Not all side effects are always listed if they aren't life threatening, I've found out. If it isn't a side effect and the taste doesn't go away within a week or so after being sick, give your doc a call. You could have sinusitus, which the doc would need to test for. Good luck.

It could also be cotton mouth/dry mouth. If it persists, I would see your doctor or get a referral for an E.N.T. (ears nose throat). Good luck!

It sounds like you might be having a reaction to some of the meds you could be taking for allergies

Cough is caused by a number of ailments.
It can be treated by over the counter medicines
or home remedies. More information available

probably you're getting a cold virus... drink more water to give a bath to your inner body. Or you might have some virus to your intestine...

You say you were cleaning. Were you using one of those spray cleaners? They contain all sorts of horrible chemicals which can cause problems.
