A member asked:
Occasionally i get a metallic smell in my nose, like blood. i have not had any head trauma or had a nosebleed. is this significant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metallic smell is not generally recognized symptom, metallic taste is but not smell. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferable an ENT doctor. Wish you good health!
