General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my surgical experience, the loss of appetite and metallic mouth after a week of hysterectomy indicates possible drug induced effects of antibiotics given for healing and prevention of secondary bacterial infection; analgesic medicines as tramadol hydrochloride giving stomach upset most likely. Kindly provide me a list of current medications for better understanding of the root cause and guide accordingly. Primary relief with gargles of salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil 3 times a day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
