Bad taste in mouth...temporary.....

This is what I get  to know from website...

A bad taste in the mouth can be a result of a wide range of medical conditions and even everyday situations. Many different kinds of prescription or over-the-counter medications can interfere with the sense of taste and may produce an unpleasant sensation of taste. The feeling of a bad taste in the mouth is usually temporary and improves when the underlying cause is remedied. Consumption of certain foods, or the use of tobacco products, can result in an unpleasant or bad taste in the mouth. Poor dental health and poor hygiene are other potential causes of a bad taste in the mouth.

I am a teetotaller and donot use tobacco products and hence cause from that is ruled out ...

This is a problem....I went to  my Physician ... On 24:12:2015..with slight headache...and bad taste in tongue... He gave a dose of Paracetamol, Ornidazole,some ampicillin or Anti allergy tablets. I became all right .

Incidentally I recollect having taken Nimesulide tablets for some pains  few days back from Drug store  at Tiruchirapalli.That may be the cause for my condition .

Now last week I got same problems...took same dose of antibiotics, etc...feeling better.

It is possible intake of medicines including Aspirin daily without taking vitamin tabs and Calcium tabs may be the reason. Ofcourse other remedial measures like taking butter milk with salt or lassi also appears OK Although we are required to take Calcium tablets daily, it was discontinued and am taking Calcium tablets  from yesterday Also take vendhayam or uluva in Malayalam or Fenugreek Seeds crushed  in water fully dissolved taken may reduce the problem.
""
Fenugreek seeds are used in colic flatulencee, dysentery, diarrhoea, dyspepsia, chronic cough, enlargement of liver and spleen, rickets, gout and diabetes, Also used as carminative, tonic and aphrodisiac.""

No doubt regular brushing teeth with salt rich toothpaste and using mouthwash and tongue cleaner etc also help reduce the temporary problem.

One thing I note is  when you take fruits with sugar content or coffee with flavour and  chicory , the feeling is much reduced.

This must be a regular occurrence for many .I think some Homeopathic drugs may do better.

As a layman I read somewhere it may be due to bacterial infection on tongue. How to find out these bacteria ...?

We have to face all these try to know the cause and remedy...What else to do,???
