A member asked:

How long does metallic taste in mouth associated with gastroesophageal reflux last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A few factors: There are a few factors to consider. Acid taste is often associated with infection in the mouth so you need to see a dentist to make sure there are no oral infections. As long as you keep getting the acid reflux you are likely to experience the taste. If you are taking medications then sometimes this will give a metalic taste.
