What Causes Metallic Taste In The Tongue?
Hi, I have been stressed out for 3 weeks with an aweful metal taste and smell . I had surgery on jan. 12th, and have seen my doctor 3 times since. Is it a process of healing? even water taste bad. I make myself eat. Maybe you would have an opinion on this? It started 9 days after surgery.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The metallic taste in the tongue can be because of the drugs which you have taken after surgery. nothing to be panic, it will be reversed within 2 weeks after stopping the medicines. You can take antacids and nerve regenerating drugs like vitamin B6.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
