Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Salty taste in mouth can be due to a number of causes like dry mouth, side effects of any medications, post nasal drip, oral and dental infections, sinusitis, acid reflux etc..

So first of all you should consult an Oral Physician and get a thorough clinical examination done so that exact cause can be ruled out..

For now you should start chewing sugarfree chewing gums.
You should drink plenty of water..
Clean your tongue daily with a tongue scraper and gargle with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
