Probably dysgeusia, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear lady and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern.

There are many medical conditions that can cause bitter taste in mouth.

Other information that I may need to help me through the diagnosis are:

Do you have any other health issues?

Do you take any medications currently?

Do you have acid reflux?

Do you drink liquids during the day?

Meanwhile, I suggest you to continue rinsing with salty water.

I suggest you to drink liquids, and take vitamin C supplements.

Oral hygiene is very important, you should not brush just the teeth but also the tongue.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further
