An unusual taste in the mouth can be a symptom of a serious illness

Sometimes the body signals a problem that is easy to ignore - for example, the appearance of a strange taste in the mouth. If this phenomenon is not related to food and does not disappear for a long time, it should be taken seriously: it can indicate hidden health problems.

Doctors emphasize that the taste in the mouth can be a symptom of disorders in the internal organs. Here are the most common options and their possible reasons:

Metal taste

This taste often occurs due to the presence of blood in the oral cavity. However, if the smell of ammonia is added to it, it can indicate kidney problems. And in the case of blood during cough, fever or difficulty breathing - the situation requires an urgent consultation with a doctor.

Sweet taste

It can be a sign of diabetic ketoacidosis - a dangerous condition that occurs when glucose metabolism. The taste is reminiscent of overgrown fruits or candy and requires blood sugar.

Salty taste

Most often caused by dehydration and reduction of saliva production. However, it may also be accompanied by some autoimmune diseases, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease or stroke. If it appears with dry mouth, unpleasant odor, difficulty chewing - you should consult your doctor.

Any unusual taste that does not pass for several days is the reason to consult a therapist or dentist. Early detection of disorders is the key to effective treatment.
