When a tablet is put in water, it reacts with the water to release gas (usually carbon dioxide) as bubbles. This is due to a chemical reaction that happens between the ingredients in the tablet and the water, which results in the formation of bubbles.
The bubbles from the antacid tablet move toward the surface of the water due to buoyancy. As the tablet dissolves, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which forms bubbles that are less dense than the surrounding liquid. This difference in density causes the bubbles to rise, as they seek to escape the liquid and reach the air above. Additionally, the upward movement is aided by the surface tension of the water, which helps the bubbles break through the surface.
Alka Seltzer is primarily sodium bicarbonate. The bubbles form from the chemical reaction of sodium bicarbonate and water. The release of the bubbles cause the tablet to break down and dissolve.
If the tablet has no flavoring to it, the water won't really change it's taste
Alka-Seltzer tablets contain citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. When the tablets are dissolved in water, the citric acid reacts with the sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide gas. The gas is released from the reaction between the tablet and water, causing the bubbles in the solution.
Adding a tablet to water typically results in a chemical change. As the tablet dissolves, it often undergoes a reaction that produces new substances, such as gas bubbles or color changes, depending on the ingredients in the tablet. This transformation indicates that the original substances have been altered at the molecular level, which is characteristic of a chemical change.

put it in your mouth swallow with water

this is due to the bubbles released as the tablet underwent a change.
When a tablet, like an antacid, is dropped into soda, the acids in the soda react with the active ingredients in the tablet, causing it to dissolve and release gas. This reaction creates bubbles and fizz, while the tablet's components mix with the liquid.
If you put the entire Alka-Seltzer tablet into a homemade lava lamp, it will react with the liquid and release carbon dioxide gas bubbles. These bubbles will rise to the top, carrying the colored liquid with them, creating a bubbling effect similar to a lava lamp.

When calcium tablets react with water, they undergo a chemical reaction in which hydrogen gas is produced. This gas forms bubbles that you see when the tablet dissolves in water. The reaction between calcium and water releases hydrogen gas as a byproduct, causing the bubbling effect.
When an Alka-Seltzer tablet is dropped into water, the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate in the tablet react to form carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles. This reaction is what causes the fizzing and bubbling that you see when the tablet is dropped into water.
