I have had a metalic, poison like taste in my mouth the last two days. I remember hearing that this is a sign of something. Do you know what it is?

Dr.Sinuhe Answers:

Thanks for your question. Metallic like taste in mouth may be due, for example, to medication (typically gold for rheumatoid arthritis, metronidazole for anaerobic infection or metformin for increased blood glocose) or poisoning (led or quicksilver). Therefore, is the taste persists, talk to your doctor about your symptom.
