Why do I have a persistent bad taste in my mouth?

Hello,

Welcome to iclinq.com.

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can occur due to a number of causes, such as poor oral hygiene, oral and dental infections, post-nasal drip, sinusitis, acid reflux, respiratory infections, and diabetes. You should consult an oral physician or an otolaryngologist and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations depending upon suspected cause can help in diagnosis.

Treatment of the underlying cause will relieve the symptoms. As of now, you should start gargling with a flavored mouthwash twice a day. You should chew flavored, sugar-free chewing gum. Do warm saline gargles twice a day. Limit the intake of high-aroma foods like onion and garlic. Drink plenty of water and maintain good oral hygiene.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
