Experiencing a bitter tongue can be a side
effect of taking the medication
"Lansoprazole". A bitter tongue would
probably cease when you stop taking
Lansoprazole.
Bad breath can also be caused by several
other reasons: throat infection, mouth
infection, cavities, bad hygiene of the
teeth and mouth, adigestive disorder…
You can consult a dentist about the fetid
odor. If the teeth and mouth are OK then
you can consult some ENT-specialist and
internist for more examinations.
