Hello,

Are you taking any new medications?

You may want to make an appointment with an ENT (Ear, nose & throat) specialist for an accurate diagnosis. You may have a post nasal drip or sinus infection which is a very common cause of tasting salt.

Here is some info, let me know if you have questions.
