Re: Blood Taste in Mouth

Presuming that the taste in your mouth is from blood, it could be coming from the nose, mouth, lungs, or stomach if you are having reflux. I would encourage you to see an ears, nose and throat doctor who could do a detailed examination of the nose and mouth to make certain there are not problems such as cancer. If your not having coughing problems, the lungs can easily be excluded. Finally, if you are not having reflux symptoms and regurgitating, the stomach can be excluded.
