What Is The Cause Of The Metallic Taste In Mouth?
I am inquiring for a male friend who has been ill since Saturday with headache, fatigue, diarrhea and metallic taste in his mouth. What is the cause of the metallic taste? Today is the first day he hasn't suffered from diarrhea, but the metallic taste continues.
Mon, 3 Mar 2014
HelloThere can be many reasons for the metalic taste including the medications he is on or post viral nerve inflammation or electrolyte disturbances due to diarrhea!
Please dont worry as this is likely to be a temporary phenomenon and will recover once the illness subsides,
Thanks
