A persistent bitter or metallic taste that has not improved with oral hygiene and an antireflux medicine usually has one of a few explanations. Reflux is still the commonest, but it often needs the right drug taken correctly - 30 minutes before breakfast on an empty stomach for two to four weeks, along with smaller dinners, no late-night eating, and cutting tea, coffee, smoking and alcohol. Second, dental causes such as gum disease or an infected tooth are easy to miss and worth a dental check. Third, do rule out simple systemic causes: uncontrolled blood sugar, low haemoglobin or B12 deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, and any recent medicine such as an antibiotic, metronidazole or an iron tablet can all leave a metallic taste. There is no quick fix as such; correcting the underlying cause is what actually clears it, and dry mouth from low water intake makes it worse, so keep well hydrated.

Since you mention you're already on reflux medicine and the taste persists, it's less likely to be a straightforward GERD issue responding to a standard PPI course — worth looking at other causes: certain medications, zinc/vitamin deficiency, sinus involvement, or even how long you've actually been on the reflux medication and at what dose. A metallic taste that doesn't resolve despite treatment usually needs a proper history review rather than another round of the same prescription. Happy to go through your current medications and duration of symptoms in a consult to pin down the actual cause

It can be due to Gerd or gum infection. Take these medications for few days as prescribed :- Tab pan40- 1tab to be taken 30 minutes before breakfast for 7 days. Tab Bifilac - twice daily after food for 5 days.

A metallic taste is commonly associated with acid reflux, dry mouth, gum/dental problems, oral infections or certain medications. If it persists for several days, the underlying cause should be identified rather than treating the taste alone

metallic taste for a few days is usually not serious. It can occur due to GERD or dyspepsia or mild gum bleeding.
