This site answers your question perfectly:\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002914.htm\n\nThey give several reasons for this including dehydration, post nasal drainage and overproducing tears.  Check out the link above....

Are you using a nasal spray ?\nIf yes, the taste could be from the spray that drops back to the throat.\nIf not, it could be a post-nasal drip of mucus from the nose. Check also to see if you nose is bleeding since you 'blew your nose real good' an hour ago. This may damage the nasal membrane and causes nose bleed and the blood can drop into the throat.\nGargle with water may help.\nIf you cold does not get better soon. Check with your doctor.

That's what you get for blowing smurf's and swallowing.\nWith regards to the taste try mixing in some m & m's that should take care of that.

You poor thing!  :-)  It's also possible there could be a medical problem affecting your breath.  Here's a link to some basic info about halitosis.  Good luck to future smooching!

You're probably getting a small electrical charge, known as electrolysis, which happens when 2 dissimilar metals come in contact with one another, which causes that horrible flavor in your mouth.  I have a bridge that does that when eating utensils touch it, and yeah, its a disgusting taste and sensation, very bitter.

Take a cup and full it with hot water.  Then pour quite a lot of salt in it and and stir until it dissolves.  Once it is warm enough for you to drink then just rinse your mouth with the salt water.  You can actually feel your mouth burning from it but thats the good part because now you know it is working.  Also try gargling with a tot of Brandy before going to bed at night.  Alchohol does wonders.

Are you a mouth breather?  Do you live in a very dry climate?  Have you tried drinking water with lemon in it?  Do you eat lots of salty food?  Are you taking an anti-histamine?  If the answer is no to all, see your M.D.

Metallic or acidic taste in mouth can be caused by gastric problems, lead poisoning, or scrombotoxic fish poisoning.\n\nThere are other causes such as deteriorating fillings, and possibly a mineral imbalance. \n\nYou should check with a doctor to determine the actual cause.

same thing happens to me!!!  What I have been doing is just keep drinking alot of fluids not necessarliy water but something to help with the taste.  I have also been sucking on candy during the day at work.  I know it's gross but u sleep better right?  I do and I'm going to try Sonesta cuz there is no after taste at all and you can sleep for 4 hours or 8 and still feel refreshed afterwards.\n\nNO HANGOVER FEELING!!

Probably a few days...try a milkshake, protein shake or soup. You could even get a small food processor and mutilate your food, that way you could get the taste you crave.

There are several factors in the sensation of taste.  Part of it is chemical; a rectaion to the molecules with specific receptors in an array along your tounge.  This identifies combinations of sweet, sour, salty, etc..., that you interpret according to patterns established by your brain.  Eg, if you are low on salt often high salt low sweet foods 'taste' good.\n\nSecondly, much of your taste is processed via sensory receptors in the nose.  While the basic groups (salty, etc..) are managed by the tounge, the subtlities and higher resolution taste's come from olifactory responses.  When temperature increases, some chemicals in the mixture of whatever you are eating will travel in air with a greater affinity than others, changing the concentration of molecules that land on olifactory receptors, in effect, changing the taste.\n\nThe third and most significant factor is memory and is a learned condition.  Your brain functions primarily by associations -- if the first time you ate lobster was a beautiful day, this association is likely to be made subconciously each time you eat lobster.  I, for example, remember horking the first time I tasted tequila; as a result I feel like horking again on every subsequent taste.    part of your memory with something like icecream is associated with the cold response -- its very different when warm.\n\nHave you ever took a sip of seomthing and grabbed the wrong thing, finding it disgusting b/c you were expecting something else?  As in you think its lemonade and end up with coke, so you pull away disgusted, even though you might like coke?  This is the power of subconcious effects.

Hon, see a doctor. Worse that can happen is he will tell you to treat it with over the counter remedies. But you don't know until you go. If you have had it this long, then you should go see a doc.\n\nI agree about the salt water gargle.....\n\nGood luck...

its super yucky but rinsing/gargling with warm salt water really eases the throat pain.  mix it up really good, 1 part salt to about 4 parts water, hold your nose, take a sip, gargle and spit.  you may just have a virus that is irritating everything so start with some anti-inflamatory meds like ibuprofen (advil) every 4 hours and gargle and just let it run its course.  still achy in a day or 2?  white dots on tonsils?  possible strep bacteria...go get some antibiotics from the doc :)

Exercise, reduce your salt intake, switch to a high fiber diet, drink lots of water, and see a your doctor.

could be something going on with an old filling. sometimes that could cause that taste, especially if they are those old silver fillings.
