Bad taste in mouth
Bad taste in mouth: Introduction
Changes in taste sensations can result from various medical conditions.
One reasonably common cause is acid reflux where stomach acid is
regurgitated into the mouth giving a bad taste that can be
described as an acid taste or metallic taste; refer to the symptoms of
refux or heartburn.
Another possibility is an infectious oral virus that may damage
the tongue's sensory cells and result in changes to taste.
Other mouth or tongue disorders, including mouth ulcers, are a possibility.
Taste changes can also accompany other general types of illness,
such as a fever, and these other symptoms need to be investigated
for their cause.
Various other causes of taste changes are possible;
