it could be caused my the extra iron they put in pre-natal vitamins, but call your doc, not worth the risk.

You're either not cleaning your ears properly, as in soap or cotton swabs soaked with peroxide/alcohol, or you've got an infection or possibly it's brain matter leaking out. That's a very distinct possibility since you know it tastes "salty". How else could you know that?\nBesides that, who "itches" the inside of anything? Last I heard you "scratch" an "itch". You don't "itch" an "itch".\n\nMaybe it's that tunafingers smell from your twatwaffle?\n****Besure to report me BEFORE you look at her profile.****\nHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....D.A.!\nMaybe you're just a dirty .....?

taste buds die all the time...sometimes they are painful when they do and swell slightly.....there really isnt anything you can do for it except let it run its course....you can rinse your mouth with a peroxide and warm water mixture ( 1 cap of peroxide to 1/2 c. water). That may help......

it could be ulcerated or even injured from something you ate. if the symptoms remain after a few more days i would advise contacting your dentist and having him look at the area.

Blood cells contain hemoglobin which carries oxygen. When blood breaks down, iron is released and causes a metallic taste in mouth. Bleeding can be from the gums, sinuses or nose. The taste can get especially bad when someone has post nasal drip and the dried blood sticks to the back of the throat. If bleeding gums are the cause there is often bad breath associated with the bad taste.\n\nAnother uncommon reason for a metallic taste in mouth is due to small electric currents in the mouth. When two types of metals are used in two different dental fillings a battery can be created. Some believe that it's due to the mercury leakage from dental silver/mercury fillings.\n\nMany oral or IV medications such as thyroid medicine, penicillin, and lithium can give a metallic taste in mouth. When someone is allergic to a specific food, the food can often be detected even in extremely small amounts. Food allergies, such as with sulfur dioxide, can also cause this. Some gastrointestinal disorders can be aggravated by food allergies and cause burping, dry mouth, thirst, rectal itching and a metal taste. High protein diets can cause benign dietary ketosis. This has also been associated with a metal taste.\n\nChemotherapy, radiation therapy, or cancer itself can cause a metallic taste in mouth. It has also been associated with B 12 deficiency, zinc deficiency, Bell's palsy, Strep throat and Sjogren's disease along with anything that causes dry mouth. \nhttp://www.atlantadentist.com/metallic_taste_in_mouth.html\n\nAND:\n\nA metallic taste in the mouth can be caused by infections of the mouth or teeth, skin conditions that affect the mucous membranes in the mouth such as lichen planus, or other problems, such as Crohn's disease.\n\nA metallic taste also may be caused by a substance present in the mouth. Medications that are chewed, rather than swallowed, may cause a temporary metallic taste at the back of the tongue. Other medications, such as Flagyl, tetracycline, penicillamine, Biaxin, ethambutol, biguanides, or allopurinol, can cause a metallic taste because they get into the mouth through salivary secretions or directly from the blood. http://www.sjmercyhealth.org/110333.cfm

you might be having a mild stroke! or any lesion on your facial nerve. this nerve controls your facial muscles as its motor function and is responsible for taste( its sensory function). better consult your doc!

it could just be an acid bump. you get them from eating too many acidic foods. have you eaten a lot of fruit lately? Or salt, that does it too. I feel for you, if it is an acid bump it usually hurts, especially when you bite it!

A friend of mine was on Topamax and she experienced tingling in her hands and feet.  She also had a change in her taste.  Anything with artificial sweetners tasted very metallic to her and she couldn't stand the taste of anything alcoholic.  She also suffered from weight gain (about 25 lbs).  All of the symptoms went away when she stopped taking the med.

Some medicines can cause a metallic taste, but I don't think a filling would be the problem.\nSince you didn't list any other symptoms, try these websites, or google the questions.

Good question!\n\n  When you have amalgam (metal) fillings , and you bite on aluminum foil, it creates direct-current electricity called "galvanism". Galvanism in this case is cause by two dislike metals coming into direct contact with one another. The metal itself is an excellent conductor of electricity, sending the electrical shock to the nerve of the tooth (teeth). OUCH! I have done this by accident, it is such a jarring pain that I wouldn't do it on purpose if you paid me to! ;)  If she has metal fillings and refuses to believe you about the pain it causes to bite on foil, offer her a piece to chew. She will soon be a believer! (It won't work unless she has metal fillings)It's kinda mean, but it won't cause damage to her. Just shock her a good one!

Pregnancy was my first thought.\ncould be a number of things though---\ngallstones\ni also read if you have a fillings in your teeth sometimes they can breakdown and do this.. they are made of mercury so that would leave the tin taste in your mouth which is not a good thing so if you have any filling get your dentist to check them out --its dangerous when they break down.\nchemo patients also have these same symptoms.\nsome medications such as sleeping pills do the same thing

try ant-acids, they help with the sore, swollen taste buds. Also try a good mouth wash.

Finding some bits of metal after a filling is normal.  Don't panic.  If it keeps it up after you've brushed tonight and tomorrow morning, then I would call my dentist.\n\nYou should be able to brush and eat on that side as soon as it feels okay.  There aren't restrictions with that type of thing as far as I know.  I always did afterward though you might want to wait a day to be sure..  You might have some sensitivity to cold for a bit afterward, so be careful of that.
