A member asked:

Hello, i have this problem in mouth and nose i smell and taste metal. it usually occurs when i sneeze, laugh too hard or breath heavily.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oral Hygiene: Sometimes bacteria trapped in the throat and tonsils and tongue can give a metal taste sensation. Brush regularly, gargle, and use a tongue scraper. If the problem persists, consider seeing a dentist. There are other causes for this, but they would not generally be triggered by the things that do this to you (sneeze, laugh).
