Hi,
This is a not so common , yet one of the possible sequelae of ingestion of pine nuts ( sply a chinese variety), that has surfaced nowadays known as pine mouth/ syndrome. It causes this metallic aftertaste. But rest assured this is self limiting and would go away soon. Try taking a lot of juice/ fluids. If the symptom doesnt subside by 1 week, kindly get it re-evaluated by a physician.
