What Causes Dryness In Mouth With Metallic Taste?

Hi I'm 30. During my last period I experienced a completely dry mouth and a bit of a metallic taste in my mouth. Now today where I expect my period I'm experiencing the same: dry mouth with a weird taste. What's wrong because I have never experienced this before?

thanks for your query, the dryness could be because of decreased salivary secretion from the salivary gland due to a stone in the duct or any other pathologies..dryness can also be because of certain drugs...seconadry to the dryness you might be feeling the metallic taste or if you are taking metronidazole then it can cause metallic taste..consult your oral physician to rule out these causes and for prompt daignosis. you can yuse artificial salivary substitutes like wet mouth gel...keep sipping lot of water...i hope my answer will help you..take care..
