Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Strange taste in mouth, sore throat. I have seen my doctor and she gave me medication for Thrush even though I don't have anything on my tongue that suggests Thrush. I have finished the liquid antibiotic and still have the taste. I haven't changed any medications that I have been taking for months, or had any other sign of any reason for the taste in my mouth
Well, sore throat and bad taste in mouth can be due to throat infection, tonsil stones, sinusitis, post nasal, oral and dental infection, dry mouth, side effect of medication, etc. I would suggest you to consult an oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation as per suspected cause can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.
As of now you can start gargling with flavored antimicrobial mouthwash. Chew flavored sugar free chewing gum. Do warm saline gargle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
