Suggest Treatment For Discolored Tongue And Metallic Taste In Mouth

Hi. I ve had this problem before, but getting two crowns that I needed and a round of antibiotics made it go away. However, it is back and I have no dental issues. I just had a dental CT to rule out any dental issues. I have a discolored tongue (yellowish in color). I don t have bad breath, but my mouth is dry and water, in particular, tastes metalic to me. I don t like how it looks, and the metallic taste is recent (last few days), but the discolored tongue started a couple weeks ago.

Certain problems in other parts of the body may show symptoms in the mouth as well. So please visit a specialist in Oral Medicine to rule out the cause of your problem and to get prompt treatment.
