Dehydration?: After someone has been sick, especially for a week, their body is out of balance. Being dehydrated can contribute to a sour taste. Also sometimes probiotics are needed to help. Get rest, avoid alcohol and caffeine ...And allow your body to heal. One should get evaluated if symptoms persist.
