Sometimes we will feel a bitter taste in our mouth without realizing it, which will not only affect our appetite, but also make us very uncomfortable. Maybe we don’t pay much attention to this issue in our daily life, so what is the reason for the bitter taste in our mouth? What can I eat to cure it?

What to do if your mouth tastes bitter

If the bitter taste in your mouth only lasts for a short time, don't worry too much, it may go away naturally. However, if the bitter taste in the mouth persists for a long time, and is even accompanied by abdominal pain, bloating, fever, weight loss, and obvious fatigue, you need to go to the dentistry, gastroenterology, and hepatobiliary departments to check whether you have cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, or diseases of the digestive tract and other systems. If there is no obvious visceral disease, common colds and dysfunctional bitter taste in the mouth can be treated with Chinese herbal decoctions or Chinese patent medicines under the doctor's prescription.
