What Causes Metallic Taste In The Mouth?
Question: I have been smoking cigarettes for a couple of months since giving birth because of anxiety/PPD. I also recently got a Mirena placed. Last week I noticed that my mouth and tongue felt like they were burnt. Now there is a metallic taste in my mouth. Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Could be due to cigarette smoking.
