What Causes Metallic Taste In The Mouth With Abdominal Pain?

Hi....I have recently had a bad chest infection with bad coughing fits. Had antibiotics from doctor, then some diff tablets as after a week the infection hadn t completely cleared witch I m still taking. Past week I ve had this dull pain under my rib cage on my right side, I thought this was muscle strain due to my coughing fits. However, it s got worse, like a sharp stabbing pain, it hurt to breathe. It has calmed down after a day but still some pain there. I also have a metallic taste in my mouth and lower abdominal pain. Also experienced a sharp pain on my left side in my back. Not sure to this is related, but I ve just had my period, this was very light and only lasted a few days? Do you have any advice?

Hi greetings
there are various reasons to have metallic taste in mouth ranging from dental problems to the drugs if you had any
certain antibiotics like metronidazole clarithromycin causes metallic taste
as you had medicines for the chest infection so drug induced gastritis may be a cause of abdominal pain
please consult your doctor for detailed examinations and anti acidity medicines
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
wish you good health
regards
