Hello,
Bad taste in mouth can be due to gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), salivary gland infection, sinusitis leading to post nasal drip, poor dental hygiene, or even the result of taking certain medicines. You can try taking over-the-counter antibiotics like Amox for 5 days. If not better you can consult an ENT surgeon and find out what is the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sanjay Kini
