mouthwash

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Sometimes due to thick saliva or food debris over the tongue there can be certain taste sensation in mouth. Its nothing to worry about. Rinse 3-4 times with good mouthwash. For thick saliva salivary stimulants can be taken.

If you have any other symptoms like acidity, bloating, runny nose, etc please let me know.
