What Causes Severe Dryness And Bad Taste In Mouth?
Question: Hi. I have posted before that i have tonsilitis. Its geeting better but my mouth is very dry and has a weird taste. I have a cavity in my tooth and not sure if that is causing the bad taste. Worry about throat cancer. Any help would be great.
Brief Answer:
Bad taste maybe due to the GERD
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that bad taste (acidic) in your mouth most probably due to the gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).
Most probably you are not suffering from the cancer.
For better diagnosis and to rule out other disease, either send me the image of your mouth or consult with ENT specialist and also describe the unpleasant taste sensation in detail.
