Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
As far as the sore taste and dry mouth can be because of reduced salivary secretion which most often occurs secondary to the adverse effects of medicines you are taking for epilepsy and hypertension. The frequent urination can occur in case of diabetes. So consult a general physician and get it evaluated. Mean while for the dry mouth you can use artificial salivary substitutes like carboxy methyl cellulose. Keep sipping the water.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
