Dysgeusia - Bless you

Well, hmpf. I told my doctor that I had a sour taste in my mouth all the time and that I've turned to Jolly Ranchers for relief. Since I passed my glucose test he said I'm fine to have the candies but to watch out for cavities. blah blah blah blah. He did say he didn't know why I'd have that problem though. Well, there's nothing a pregnant woman with time on her hands can't find out on the internet.

I present to you:

Dysgeusia

This is a fairly common problem. First you have to know the cause then treating it because several infections resulting of metallic taste, these includes the common cold, flu, strep throat and nasal or sinus infections. Also, if you're a smoker, quit smoking is the best to do. You can also drink citrus juices, lemonade and eat foods marinated in vinegar. It is best to visit your primary-care doctor first to rule out medical problems. You may be referred to your general dentist or a specialist if an oral condition is involved.
