Bitter Taste in the Mouth Reveals These Diseases

There are many diseases that can cause a bitter taste in the mouth. Once they affect a person, they may leave them with a strong feeling of disgust due to the unpleasant taste. So, what are the diseases that cause bitterness in the mouth, and how can they be treated?

1. Dehydration:

If your mouth tastes bad, the first thing to check is your body’s hydration level.

One of the most common causes of bad breath and bitter taste is not drinking enough fluids.

This problem worsens with age—not only due to a weakened thirst response but also because of general changes in the body.

2. Oral Health Problems:

Severe tooth decay, infections, abscesses, and even oral cancer can cause an unpleasant bitter taste in the mouth.

Many people delay dental treatment because of the high costs, but visiting the dentist regularly is essential.

Good oral hygiene is just as important.

Failing to brush and floss properly allows plaque and bacteria to build up in the mouth, which can lead to a bad taste.

Therefore, make sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day and use dental floss at least once daily.

3. Nasal Congestion:

Whether it’s due to sinusitis, seasonal allergies, the common cold, or COVID-19, nasal congestion can negatively affect your sense of taste.

This is partly due to inflammation, and partly because the sense of smell plays a key role in how we perceive flavors.

Nasal congestion becomes especially problematic when it forces you to breathe through your mouth instead of your nose.

Mouth breathing leads to dry mouth and tongue, which worsens the bitter sensation.

Strangely, antihistamines and decongestants can also cause this unwanted taste.

4. Acid Reflux:

If you've ever suffered from heartburn, you know it can leave a bad taste in your mouth.

It is often treatable at home using over-the-counter antacids, along with minor changes in your diet, meal timing, and eating habits.

Avoid eating meals right before lying down—an overly full stomach increases the risk of stomach acid reaching the esophagus and mouth.

You can also raise the head of your bed by about 10 to 15 cm using books or blocks. This way, gravity becomes your friend rather than your enemy. If you can’t modify your bed, try using a wedge pillow.

If you suffer from acid reflux regularly, consult your doctor.

You may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which requires more comprehensive treatment than occasional heartburn.

5. Hormonal Fluctuations:

When estrogen or progesterone levels change, it can affect your sensitivity to taste and the regeneration rate of your taste buds.

As a result, pregnancy and menopause can sometimes be accompanied by nausea and an unpleasant taste in the mouth.

6. Aging:

As you grow older, your senses of smell and taste change, as does your body’s thirst mechanism.

To make matters worse, the water content in your body also decreases, making dehydration easier than ever before.

How to Treat Bitter Taste in the Mouth:

Depending on the cause, you may be able to relieve the bitter taste in your mouth by trying the following:

Drink more water.

Chew sugar-free gum.

Try a baking soda mouth rinse.

Suck on ice chips.
