A member asked:
I had pyelonephritis a couple of weeks ago and had a course of ciprofloxacin. ive started having nausea again and also a metallic taste in my mouth. is metallic taste a sign of a kidney infection or lower uti?

Since you appear to be experiencing recurrent symptoms, would check with your doctor to ascertain complete and successful antibiotic treatment. Important to rule out any kidney threats.

It is possible that the metallic taste is due to bleeding associated with gum disease. How long has nit been since your last Dental Examination and professional cleaning. If you are not flossing daily, expect gum disease.
