I have constant lemon taste in the mouth. I have otherwise lost sense of taste but no problem with my smell. I also feel that my mouth is not allowing for smooth transfer to my throat as a lot of food get stuck between my teeth and inner part of my mouth!
Bad odour or smell in the mouth can be due to several reasons such as bacterial or fungal infection of oral mucosa including gums ,tongue, throat etc , decayed teeth , gum infection or abscess. , poor oral hygiene with deposition of calculus and bacterial plaque . i would suggest you to consult a oral surgeon and get the examination done so that the disease can be diagnosed and accordingly treated. you may need a thorough cleaning and curretage of teeth and gums followed by a course of antibiotics and antioxidants.
take care.
