What Causes Metallic Taste With Vomiting And Headache?

I had dental work earlier last week and the Dentist told me yesterday that this taste of metal in my mouth should be gone by now. It tastes different than it did last week when I got my tooth worked on and he said there has to be something going on with my body because there is nothing dental to cause this anymore. Along with the horrible taste that is making me want to throw up every second my tongue is coated and has a yellow look to it. I m also having terrible headaches..

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

This could be due to GIT disturbance i would suggest you to get a checkup done by a Gastertoenterologist.
Clean you tongue slowly with a tongue scraper.
Drink plenty of fluids which are rich in vitamin C.
Get your blood checkup done for jaundice and typhoid.

Hope you find this as informative.

Take care!

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that you are having symptoms of candida infection, actually the type of lesion you are mentioning that your tongue is coated with yellow spots, it can be candidiasis also called as oral thrush.
Better that you should go for antifungal drugs, as well as get a complete blood investigation done. Once consult a general physician.
Hope it will help you.
