Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sharp pains in my head along with bloody taste in my mouth is because of nerve damage , sinusitis , migraine , neurlgia or bell's palsy . Blood taste in mouth can also occur due to acid reflux, or upper respiratory track infection . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , throat swab test along with viral culture test and treat accordingly . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for head problem . For now do warm saline gargles , maintain proper oral hygiene and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
