    Question

    y taste buds make my mouth very salty...everything I eat or drink is salty, what can I do for this it's very annoying

    Answer

    There are some medical conditions that can alter your taste sensations. Talk to your doctor. Your doctor may check your sinuses or for other nasal conditions. Some medications may also alter your perception of taste. You may want to also see your dentist because some dental conditions can cause changes to your perception of taste.
