What Causes Stale Like Taste?

I have a weird.. "aftertaste" is how i tend to describe it, and I dont know what its caused from. I cant tell where its coming from, but usually it comes and goes. My diet haddnt changed in any way when it started coming up, and i've found that it usually comes around when i sneeze sometimes. Other times it just kind of shows up. It doesnt taste/smell good. I can 'taste' the smell, and its hard to describe-- sort of stale i guess. Its not from a tooth I know, and I never know how to talk to my doctor about it :/ Does anyone have any ideas on what it is?

Hello,

There are many causes for taste alteration such as:
1. Glossitis
2. Lung Abscess
3. Indigestion
4. Fatty Liver
5. Sinusitis
6. Tonsillitis
7. Mouth ulcers et cetera

Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days and water vapor inhalation and thrice a day, for five days. Use mouth wash to maintain good hygiene. Regular exercise and high fibre diet useful. Use multivitamin once a day, for five days.

If symptoms do not improve, please consult your doctor, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
