What Causes A Metallic Taste And Pain In Mouth?
Listed all possible causes, with emphasis on most likely one
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. There are only a handful causes that can produce a metallic taste or feeling in the mouth, and I shall go ahead and list them for your reference:
+Pregnancy (which can be ruled out easily)
+Infections: Should have presented with other symptoms as well, and should not have subsided just when you traveled elsewhere
+Cancer treatment: Which both of you clearly are not, thankfully
+Medications: Multivitamins, some antibiotics (e.g. tetracycline), gout medication, psychiatric medication, etc.
+Poor oral hygiene: I am sure the dentist would have picked that up, if it were the case
+Chemical exposure: Inhalation of large amounts of mercury and/or lead can cause this metallic taste or feeling the mouth. I do believe this could quite possibly be the cause for your presentation ma'am. I would recommend 2 things:
1. Request some one to come stay over for a few days, and check to see if they experience the same symptoms
2. Speak to your handyman and request him to go about a most detailed evaluation of your place, to find the source
I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.
Best wishes.
