Nasty Taste In Mouth. Had Several Injections In Stomach After Surgery. Could Injections Have Caused This?

Hi.I am home after having surgery, and I also had several injections in the tummy.However, I developed a nasty taste in my mouth that seemed to carry across into all the food and drink I tried to eat and drink.Since I have been home, this has gone.Could the injections have caused this to occur.The lady in the bed next to me had the same symptoms.It never occurred to me until I was home if this may have been the case.

hi..
you probably have metallic taste in the mouth, due to the antibiotics given to you post-operatively...
metronidazole is used very commonly for the anaerobic coverage, and it is the cause for your problem.. this will reduce over a period of time..
can take antacids for the reduction of these symptoms..
all the very best..
