What Causes Sweet Taste In Mouth?

I have been noticing a sweet taste in my mouth that doesn't go away even after brushing my teeth. I have been struggling to lose weight even after excersing about an hour and half a day and watching what I eat! I also have been so stuffed up that I went for allergy testing and nothing showed up! I have a nodule on my thyroid gland in my neck but my thyroid levels are good

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sweet taste in mouth can occur due to common causes like Diabetes,throat infection, sinusitis,acid reflux, infection or inflammation of olfactory nerve, while certain serious conditions like Stroke can also be a cause..

It should be taken care of and you should consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and he can do a thorough clinical examination and investigations like blood sugar levels, complete blood picture, throat swab culture, sinus x rays and also MRI scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done according to the cause diagnosed..
Treatment of the underlying illness can relieve the symptoms..

As of now you can maintain a proper oral hygiene.
Gargle with warm saline solution..
Do antiseptic mouthwash gargles..
Drink plenty of water..
Take a nutritious diet, take multivitamin supplements and chew more of raw fruits and salads..

Hope this information helps..
