Gt a flu/cold with citrus taste in mouth like oranges no dental problems just started!?

Acid reflux: A citrus taste would indicate the presence of acid mixing with your saliva. This might be a result of acid reflux possibly caused by medication. Temporarily discontinue any otc medications & your mouth should return to normal.
