What Causes Metallic Taste In Mouth And Pain In Left Side Throat?

Hi I was wondering you could help me, I have had a strange metallic taste in mouth (I already have good oral hygiene, brush, floss, mouthwash) for the past week and a half. But I ve had the following symptoms for a couple of months: underarm pain, upperarm pain, lower abdominal pain (it isn t constant, but they all occur frequently, at times simultaneously, at others times they occur on their own). sometimes I get a strange feeling of lightheaded and tingling in my head. And for the past two days, the left side of my throat has become very tender and it hurts alot when touched.. What s wrong with me? (Also, I was diagnosed as being borderline hypothyroid 2 and a half months ago I am on medication of 50mg levythroxine.)

Hello,

Don't worry, metallic taste in the mouth may be due to gastritis or acid reflux or gingivitis or post nasal drip or epistaxis or iron tablet intake etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Also check there is a possibility of arthralgia or infection. So get it done CRP, Ra factor and ESR. Please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
