What Are The Causes Of Having Metallic Taste In Mouth And Swollen Neck?
Yes. I have this horrible metallic taste in mouth that started about two months ago. Also, my neck feels swollen more on the right side than the left. Not sure what is going on. I am a registered nurse and have told my doctor but he just said that is weird.

hello and welcome to health care magic,
What you described could be seen in either a vitamin deficiency or a reflux disease. In any case you must do these:
-get a compete blood work up including routine tests and also vitamin and calcium levels
-get an upper GI endoscopy
-get a CT PNS
you can get back to me or any ENT with the above reports and I am sure I can give a better treatment and diagnosis than just weird!
