I have a puss like taste in my mouth. Any idea on what this would be ?
Patient: I keep getting this taste in my mouth like puss is leaking in my throat I just feel the need to spit all the time because I dont know if it s puss or not. It s been going on for maybe 4 days now and to keep this taste away I would have to either eat something like food or throw a piece of gum in my mouth. I remember when I had a bad wisdom tooth I had puss coming out, but that tooth was removed. Do you have any idea on what this would be? Doctor: 5 reasons : 1. pyorrhea>> in which calculus is deposited on teeth and gums and this leads to periodontal abscess and pus and bad breath(most common) 2. tonsils 3. chronic common cold and blocked sinus 4. uncleaned tongue leads to bad breath  5. Constipation leads to bad breath
