Hi.
This is most probably due to gastritis or gastroenteritis which might have given you GERD to cause metallic taste in the mouth.
Do not worry, get an opinion of a Doctor , get a physical examination done , Take a PPI and domperidone and antibiotic with metronidazole if there are signs of gastroenteritis.
If a course does not help completely, take an opinion of a Gastroenterrologist and undergo upper GI and Lower GI endoscopy and ultrasonography.
