Bad taste in mouth
Good morning docs.!! :)
I have a bad acidic taste in my mouth when I keep away from eating for 2-3 hours straight. Also my mouth starts producing bad breath during the evening time (around 9-10pm). I don't exactly know how it happened but it started days ago when I was diagnosed with a seasonal viral fever. Also since I had shifted from north east to north India. I had to face a lot of changes in diet and I gave up eating non veg. . So if and please kindly if you take a moment and help me in sorting out this problem. I'll really be very thankful.

As far as bad taste is concerned, This might be due to viral infection or antibiotics you are having.. once you are finished with your antibiotics taste will come to normal. About bad breath you should visit to a dentist. Get Scaling done and see for any type of cavity.
