What Causes Metallic Taste In Mouth?
It started off with me tasting iron or some type of metal in my mouth. I could also smell chemcials of metal. I have been without normal taste for about 3 months. I taste sugar, salt, spices. hardly nothing else. I am worrying that it might be something seriously wrong.

metallic taste could be due to gum bleeding due to advanced gingivitis or periodontitis commonly known as pyorrhoea. go for an oral prophylaxis( cleaning of teeth ).
tinidazole intake may also cause a metallic taste but considering the duration pyorrhoea seems to be the cause.
after cleaning use hexidine mouthwash
