What Causes Rotten After Taste In Mouth?

Hi there. So for the past few weeks now everything I eat tastes like it is rotten. I don t feel sick and I haven t been sick recently so I don t really know why everything would taste rotten. Sometimes it starts off tasting fine but then has a terrible aftertaste that wont go away. Am I getting sick or have I been sick and just haven t noticed?

Hello

Thanks for consulting hcm

Read your query as you feel rotten taste in mouth this can be due to vitamin deficiency , drug induced or depapillation of taste buds present on tongue .
For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon or physcian for examination of tongue and complete blood investigation for heamoglobin and blood count to rule out deficiency.

Inmeantime maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing and clean your tongue using tongue cleaner . You can take vitamin B supplements by consulting with local doctor .

Hope this will help you.
