Why Am I Having Metallic Taste In Mouth?

I have had a bad metalic taste in my mouth for up to 2 months. I have had dental checks including a scan of all my teeth- all seems ok. I habe been to see 2 doctors and have tried FLO nasal care; pantoprazole; biotene dry mouth wash; mycostatin. These do not seem to help.

I tend to have to blow my nose each morning. I do have wind both ways.

Can you help?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your question, the metallic taste could be because of many reasons like antibiotics (metronidazole), odontogenic infections (abscess with pus discharge), antidiabetic and antihypertensive drugs, gastroesophageal reflux disease, drugs used to treat alcoholism... so kindly consult a oral physician and general physician to rule out these causes and treat you properly..mean while you can maintain your oral hygiene by thorough tongue brushing, use mouth washes or saline gargling.. i hope my answer will help you... take care..
