What Gives The Bad Taste To The Saliva And The Appearance As Cream?
I have a constant bad taste in my saliva for the past twelve months..the saliva looks creamy. I thought it may be from antideppressants I was on - effexor - now off them for five months with no other side-effects.
Could this be caused by my ears not been waxed - and the taste comes into my mouth. I also have a touch of tinntinitus and a feeling of dryness on some of my bottom left teeth?

hello thanks for consulting at hcm..restoring a person’s electrolyte balance and helping them re-hydrate is all it takes, though depending on the circumstances things can be much more complicated. in your case it could be due to side effects of antidepressants, hence frequnt sips of water is advised, artificial saliva could be used..if prblm persists plz consult ur physician for alternate drug prescription,,and oral medicine specialist..hope it helps..tc
