A member asked:
I have 2 mouth sores on the right side of my mouth and i keep tasting something metallic and bitter can you please explain these symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metallic ; Bitter: Gum disease, hormonal changes, blood or discharge from the sores, your medications, not drinking enough water, nasal discharge... The list continues, but not all may be your answer. To find the true cause, please see a dentist, or doctor, or both. Metallic, bitter tastes may be temporary ; insignificant, or they may indicate the beginning of something serious in the mouth or body. Best examined!
