metallic taste anyone?
I am post -op and not sure what forum to post this. I just had lymphadenectomy and ovary removal last week which was just 7 weeks past my hysterectomy. I am on an antiboiotic for a bladder infection and i have a horrible metallic taste in my mouth. I saw this somewhere and hope this was it. Any ideas? Thanks, Clare

Could it be...
Hi,
Antibiotics sometimes cause oral thrush. Could you have thrush? Do things taste extra salty? Does your tongue look whitish?
Plastic silverware may help with the metalic taste but you'll need a doctor's prescription if you have thrush to get rid of it.
Maybe someone else will come along who knows about premarin and can help you more.
Wishing you the best.
Kate

When I was given an antibiotic post hyst for a UTI, I had that horrible metal taste in my mouth. It was a normal side effect for my med. Drinking water was the worst! Anything out of a can was icky and silverware was miserable. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether or not the problem is your antibiotic and if they have suggestions for you.

It's probably the antibiotic. The whole week I was in the hospital after my surgery I had that same problem. Everything tasted horrible. They had me on antibiotics because of other problems and the metal taste didn't go away until after I was off the meds.
I'd suggest talking to your doctor about it. Maybe there's something else he can prescribe.
