How To Reduce Bump On My Head?
i bumped my head, right on the top of my head (hit a beam in the basement) and I had a brief taste of metal in my mouth. This has happened twice recently - where I had the metal taste with a bump on the head. Is there a reason to be concerned? I have no other symptoms, no headache, etc...

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Albeit short and specific.
The trauma over the head and the metallic taste in the mouth can be unrelated.
Since you have no other symptoms of headache, nausea, vomiting, giddiness or so there is no need to worry.
On a safer side get a clinical evaluation of the body and the bump and C T scan of the head if your Doctor suggests so.
