Medication Side Effects

Some prescription medications and even some over-the-counter drugs can cause a bad taste in your mouth, or cause the sensation that you are breathing acrid smoke or exhaust fumes.

To combat this unpleasant side effect, try drinking plenty of water to dilute this side effect or try chewing gum to lessen this irritant until it subsides.

If the problem persists and is intolerable, you may have to ask your doctor to change your medication to another one that hopefully might work better.
