Altered taste sense: Lots of things can cause a change in taste sensation due to damage to the taste buds. Your taste sensation should return to normal over the next few days as the taste buds heal. If not, see your doctor.

Detol?: Not sure of product. Is it detoll , the soap? Things can damage the taste buds though usually temporary. Having a metallic taste like a battery is possible. You can generate a galvanic reaction in your mouth due to your saliva and metals like from metal fillings and crowns. If doesn't pass in few day see your dentist.
