Brief Answer:
common symptom.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
Metallic taste is a common symptom with sinusitis and those with cough. A little blood mixed sputum, which is seen in rhinitis (Runny nose) patients due to recurrent nose blowing can also give this taste.
Apart from this, poor dental and oral hygiene, some drugs and systemic diseases like diabetes can give this symptom.
So, you may try to reduce nose blowing, use some anti allergic drugs like loratidine, smell menthol vapourisers frequently and keep good oral hygiene.
This should solve the problem. I guess i am clear.
Feel free to ask if you have anything.
