Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / August 2008Bad taste
I have been dealing with a bad, metalic taste in my mouth lately. I know it is coming from my sinuses. I don't have any teeth problems and no infected gums. It is just a God-awful taste. I actually have had several days of few sinus problems. I have been washing out my sinuses with the waterpic. I don't seem to have that much of that sensitivity pressure in the sinuses. So why the bad taste? Fred Hi fred. I've had sinus troubles for years but it never had any effect on my sense of taste and smell until recently. There's no doubt in my mind that it has to do with the irrigation and other things I'm doing to stir things up in my sinuses. My sense of taste and smell has been diminished for several days now. I also had a bad taste like you describe for much of this past weekend. That seems to have subsided but still problems with sense of smell especially.

It may be way too early to declare success but I washed my sinuses with the saline solution with Hydrogen peroxide. The feeling was very soothing after I was though and the bad taste abated. Of course, this has to stand the true test of time - that is, will I have that bad taste tommorow, the next day, the next week.... You say your sinus problems have been for years - I have been dealing with this since I was 13 - 45 years ago. I really wonder what I could have become had I not been hindered with this chronic problem. I've only had a metallic taste when i was on eritromicyne (if i spell it correct), and i remember that it was real bad!!!!!

There are a number of causes for this condition so if you are interested, check it out on Google. |
