Cancer chemotherapy medications may also produce a metallic taste in the mouth as a side effect. Metallic taste in the mouth can also arise due to a disorder of the nerves that control taste sensations. The condition of altered sense of taste is medically known as dysgeusia. Dysgeusia can cause a number of different alterations in taste, including a metallic taste. Some common medical conditions that can cause metallic taste in the mouth include ear or upper respiratory infections such as sinusitis, as well as head injury or conditions that damage the central nervous system (CNS).
