Check with your doc: Probably nothing but better to discuss with ENT or your dentist. You do not want to miss anything serious.

Bitters: It could be the result of acid reflux, an infection, sinus congestion with associated post nasal drip, eating pine nuts.... You may want to see your dr for a checkup.
