I know what you mean I have had it in the past, it's like a metallic taste isn't it?
I hardly ever have a cold but have experienced the iron taste. It usually disappears after a few days. Sorry not to help. I think if you google 'metallic taste in mouth' it might show up. :0)

I was thinking the same angel - same here !

Yes, I'd forgotten that, it can be common in pregnancy :0)

Bless her..... she's just rushed up to the chemist.
I had that too... when I was pregnant.

Or certain sleeping tabs can leave a metallic taste so maybe other medications do too

Found this which explains why it could be due to the cold...

Are you forgetting to take the foil wrapper off your cough sweets ?

Don't forget to drink lots of liquid,I seem to of gone through my usual 2 liters of juice quick and still have that taste.My nose just wont clear either.Maybe it has something to do with that ash cloud?lol

When I had glandular fever I got it and actually had what looked like blood in the back of my throat. The GP told me the glands produce iodine to fight the infection, hence the taste.
