For months I've had a horrible taste in my mouth...sometimes salty,sometimes metallic,ive had oral thrush,now my tongue looks white in colour,feels very dry,sometimes burning...just wondering if anyone else has experienced this before I get the courage to go back to docs....

Hi
I started getting this back in June have been treated for oral thrush 3 times. Keeps coming back. Then the clearing throat started and slight niggle below breastbone at left side I mentioned again to gp and now they testing for h pylori, waiting on results. I'm not sure but definatly think its from stomach

Some medications can cause taste alteration - are you taking anything?

Adenoids a problem?  Do you still have your tonsils?

Did she advise on diet generally?  If not ask the Pharmacist.  Thrush thrives on sugars!
