I would move my tongue back and forth on the roof of my mouth as much as I could so that the youcky stuff could settle there and make a nasty paste. Also rinse with a little baking soda water, a little bit of grit may help loosen up the yuck. Good luck Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi Jen. I am right there with you with that nasty taste! I am not wired, so I dont think it is because of that. I have a feeling its from the medicines. The roof of my mouth is totally numb also, so that could also be a big part of it. I have been rinsing with salt water and mouthwash as much as possible and drinking a lot of water (even though it tastes gross). I am hoping that the taste will start to go away once i get off the penicillin. How are you doing otherwise? We are getting close to the week mark! Yay! ~~ > > Hello To All, > > > > I'm wired shut and I can't get that yucky taste out of my mouth. It > > makes me gag and then I can't " eat " .
