General Practitioner Ellie Cannon said An unpleasant, “musty” taste in the mouth may be the result of an infection in the nose, throat or paranasal sinuses, according to the Daily Mail. Also, the cause of this phenomenon may be “stones” in the tonsils – accumulations of calcified food, mucus, cellular debris and microorganisms.
The therapist explained that the nose, mouth, and sinuses are vulnerable to pathogenic microorganisms. Sometimes bacteria and viruses cause pathological conditions characterized by an unpleasant taste in the mouth and odor from the nose.
Another reason for the specific “musty” taste may be the accumulation of debris, mucus, bacteria and exfoliated epithelium on the tonsils, the doctor added. Such formations are also called tonsillitis plugs. The exact cause of the formation of such stones is unclear, but some people notice an increase in the number of tonsil plugs after a cold. The therapist noted that otolaryngologists often recommend medication and physiotherapeutic procedures as treatment.
