Hello thank you for writing us here.
The most likely cause could be a lesion along the branch of facial nerve (chorda tympani) or the gustatory nucleus present at the origin of the facial nerve. You may need a scan for the diagnosis.
Also make sure you didn't take any specific medicine because metallic taste could also be a side effect of some medicines.
God bless you
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
