Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain salty and soapy taste in mouth can be due to a number of reasons like Post nasal drip secondary to flaring up of sinus infection, side effect of medication, cough and cold, dehydration,salivary gland disorders, oral infections etc..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get a thorough clinical evaluation done, you can be referred to appropriate physician and treatment can be properly done only once the diagnosis is confirmed..
As of now you can gargle with antiseptic mouthwash and chew sugarfree chewing gums..
Drink plenty of water..
Maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
