Could the strange sour, bitter, or salty taste on my tongue when eating hot food, along with sudden tooth sensitivity (without any cavities), be caused by excess stomach acid or the medications I am taking (HP Kit, Veloz D, Randidom O syrup, and Digeraft syrup) for a stomach ulcer and bacterial infection, even though I do not have heartburn?
The strange taste is a very common, temporary side effect of the antibiotics in your HP Kit. Additionally, even without experiencing heartburn, tiny amounts of stomach acid can reach your mouth?often called 'silent reflux.' This acid, especially when stimulated by hot foods, can temporarily sensitize your teeth and alter your taste. Your acid-reducing medications, Veloz D, Randidom O, and Digeraft, are actively helping to treat this. These symptoms should subside once you complete your treatment. Please discuss this with your doctor at your next visit, and take care.
