biaxin metallic taste

When blood breaks down, iron is released and causes a metallic taste in mouth. Bleeding can be from the gums, sinuses or nose. The taste can get especially bad when someone has post nasal drip and the dried blood sticks to the back of the throat. If bleeding gums are the cause there is often bad breath associated with the bad taste. Another uncommon reason for a metallic taste in mouth is due to small electric currents in the mouth.

Biaxin is well known for causing a metallic taste in the mouth. It's not a herx or acid reflux.

I guess there could be a few people who didn't have that taste----- but then, we're all different aren't we?

I am a 55yo female. My husband and I went to St. Petersburg, FL in March and stayed in a hotel for 1 wk. The next to the last day there, my throat started getting scratchy and the next day it was sore and I was coughing.

Afterward, the sore throat was gone and the "bronchitis feeling" was gone, but I was still wheezing deep down in the my throat and coughing.
