Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Sour taste in her mouth is a common complaint and can be due to a variety of cause:
gum disease(she need to brush her teeth twice a day and use tongue scraper to remove the bacteria and debris collected in her tongue)
not drinking enough water (increase her water intake)
drug used to treat high blood pressure(captopril)
If she rule out all these possible causes and still have that taste ,it might be worthwhile to consult with a doctor.
Take care of her
