Question 1

is it a sign of something if my daughter likes the taste of metal?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Everybody puts out sweat and oils onto their skin. Sweat has salt & ammonia (like urine does), plus some other chemicals. Chemicals on the skin will react to metals & metallic compounds. Metals are everywhere: jewelry, doorknobs, spoons, bikes, nails, chains, playgrounds, etc... Metallic compounds may be in: cosmetics, soaps, lotions, antiperspirants, shampoo, etc... A doctor can evaluate further.

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: I recommend a careful examination of the bronchial tree and lungs. A chest X-Ray may then be advised. Chronic bronchitis or atypical asthma(without wheezing) are possibilities. A sinus infection with postnasal drip is less likely. Treatment may include a course of antibiotics and an inhaler.

for some reason i can't taste sweets like every time i drink sweet tea it taste bitter every time does this mean i'm a diabetic ? and i taste metal too but it's making me worried and scared too

Accepted Answer

Don&#x27;t be worried: or scared, you can make sure you aren&#x27;t diabetic by a simple accucheck random blood sugar test. As for the different taste, bitter for sweet, that can be &#x27;Cacogeusia&#x27;, (meaning bad taste in mouth) many common reasons for such, as medications,  dental problems, gastric problems, etc.. you may want to see your dentist and your primary doctor for that , best wishes
