Hello, The bitter taste in your mouth is a highly likely side effect of the antibiotics (quinine) that you took for malaria treatment. The taste eventually will come to normal. You can conceive a child if you are the disease-free, and you are not taking any medications. Certain medications that used to treat malaria, such as quinine, are considered teratogenic, and a woman is recommended not to conceive while taking these medications or recommended having certain Chat Doctor. Again, if you are on medications, they should be reviewed by your doctor for any side effect for conceiving a child. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
