I started with a sweet taste in my mouth which then changed to a metallic taste.  My doctor gave me a course of antibiotics but there was no change so he sent me for a chest X-Ray which was clear.  Forgot to mention that he thought I had oral thrush.  I am now losing taste sensation and the only thing that seems to help is yakult. My dentist has checked me over and can find no problem.Can you suggest what the problem could be?
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. There are two conditions because of which you can experience this metallic taste plus burning sensation on tongueFirst it can be possible that you are having burning mouth syn Chat Doctor. Second it can be possible that you are having a geographic tongue, it also causes burning sensation. On both the cases you have to start with good antioxidant.  Better you consult a good oral medicine specialist. Hope it will help you.
