Swallow it faster and don't chew!

There are foods and such that can overpower the metallic taste (such as lemons, pickles, peppers, sour candies, strong flavored chewing gum, etc.), but the metallic taste will come back once the taste of the food has been reduced. Unfortunately, there really is no long-lasting fix for the metallic taste during chemo treatments. In fact, the taste itself is the hardest thing to deal with, for some. What I would suggest is eating a lot of fruit (bananas, especially) and other foods that you like that have a long-lasting taste. Even though these foods will probably taste a little metallic, the stronger the taste of food, the better chance you have of getting a break from the metallic taste for a little while. It seems the only way to get rid of the taste is to wait until the end of treatment where it will slowly dissipate to nothing. Good luck and I hope you can find something useful! :)
A metallic taste in your mouth will very likely come and go. The metallic taste most likely comes from blood in the mouth and will heal quickly.
