Hello,
A metallic taste may be felt in blood in sputum or drugs like metronidazole or iron tablets or few ant cancer drugs. Acid peptic disease with reflux may cause erosion to lead to metallic taste. Please avoid iron tablets, check for drugs. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
