How to Deal with Metallic Taste from Oral Chemotherapy?

I was told to use plastic ware in place of metal. Not sure if it works our not but it’s worth a try. Have not had chemo and so I have not tried it.

Thank you Paige, I will give it a try

Does ginger help? It’s a strong flavor.

Actually for me ginger is making my vomiting worse but I do take every now and then.

Metaqil mouth rinse may help you. I think you can order it on Amazon.

That metallic taste can be really challenging to deal with during treatment, and it's understandable that you're looking for solutions that last longer than just a few minutes. Many people in this community have found different approaches helpful - some try brushing their teeth more frequently, using plastic utensils instead of metal ones, or experimenting with different flavors like mint or ginger. Hopefully others here can share what has worked for them, and it's always worth discussing persistent side effects with your care team too.
