Brief Answer:
Bitter mouth taste
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Bitter mouth taste is due to bile acid reflux-symptom of Gastro-esophageal reflux disease(GERD).Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as pantprazole with Prokinetic agents like Domperidone may be beneficial.
Aziwok (Azithromycin) worked as macrolide anibiotic like erythromycin has also
prokinetic properties.

Thanks Dr.
Shall i ask her to continue the Aizwok 500mg for another 2-3 days ? As initially she has taken it for 3 days.

Brief Answer:
Follow up query
Detailed Answer:
No,you need not tell her to try Aziwok again, as it is not primarily meant for treatment of GERD or any dyspeptic symptoms.
You should try the other medications that I described earlier. But you will require a doctors prescription for that as they are prescription drugs.
