Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dizziness and bad taste in mouth which could be because of hormonal changes, stress and mainly because of viral infection among oral cavity. Herpesvirus stay in body in active form after first attack or decreased immunity its virus get activated again and begin to attack body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take multivitamin for this. Drink plenty of water. Take diet rich in proteins. Your symptoms will resolve soon. Need not to panic about it. Keep chewing sugarless candies. Maintain oral hygiene with betadine gargles two times a day. Antacids can prevent feeling of dizziness. Take tablet acetaminophen.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
