Brief Answer:
Might be due to GERD, capsule omeprazole 20 mg for week
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
I would like to know did you suffer from sinusitis?
Do you have acidity problem?
The backflow of stomach acid and juices into the esophagus may cause this sour or bitter taste. I feel you might be having gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Presently I would suggest you to avoid spicy food, alcohol, and smoking.
Eat bland diet, eat diet rich in fibres diet, avoid meat for few days, do not lie down immediately after food, walk for 15 minutes post food. Eat small amount food. I would suggest you to take capsule omeprazole 20 mg twice daily 1/2 hour before food for 1 week.
Along with these I would suggest you to use over the counter mouth wash containing chlorhexidine. With these measures your symptom should reduce.
Hope this helps.
I'll be glad to address your further question.
Take care.
