Metallic Taste in my Mouth

Yeah, I know it can be from GERD, but this is mostly on the tip of my tongue and a bit on the roof of my mouth at the front, which would not seem likely to be from GERD, plus it more seems bitter than metallic exactly. I'd send a message to my surgery center, but they never respond.

Yeah, if you don't have any of the other classic symptoms, you probably don't have it anyway. That is terrible they never respond. 😢

So, it turns out it's an infection from having a tooth pulled after surgery (unrelated). I had an appointment with the dietician today to ask about being hungry all the time (she had some good suggestions), and she suggested I check with him, so I called him and he said to come in and he saw an obvious infection (I didn't feel any pain) and prescribed an antibiotic. Hopefully in a few days that horrible bitter taste will be gone!

Glad you figured it out.
