Question 3

my partner said that my cervical mucus taste musky. i was wondering if this is normal or no?? 
no, i do not have multiple sex partners.

Accepted Answer

Vaginal "musky" odor: The "taste" of cervical mucus may be confused with the smell, and at different times of the menstrual cycle, the odor/taste may be different. If you are concerned, see your gyn physician for a vaginal exam and culture.

Question 4

my coughs and mucus taste and smell of vomit, why is that?

Post nasal drip: Once your mucus enters the stomach it mixes with acids, proteins and sulfur producing bacteria which will assist with the smell and taste. You should be increasing your water intact on a daily basis.

Question 6

i had covid jan 25, over it now but have mucus cough that tastes foul is it normal?

Accepted Answer

: What you described is not normal. You may try steam/vapor inhalation to facilitate the clearance of mucus. Drink enough water to stay hydrated. If it is not getting better in a couple of days, it would be prudent to see your doctor.

Question 7

what does it mean when you cough and it taste like blood but there's not any but green mucus?

Accepted Answer

URI=upper respirator: We used to think/claim that color of phlegm was determined by whether upper respiratory illness (URI) was caused by virus or bacteria. If it was green, yellow, brown, nasty colored, you needed antibiotics whereas if it was clear or white, you didn't. As it turns out, that was just a myth. In fact, color and taste tell us nothing about root cause, just that you're sick. Average duration = 18d.

Question 8

recently, when i cough, i get the taste of iron but there's no blood in the mucus. my health is good. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Phlegm: If you have phlegm from any cause that is sitting around in your lungs before you cough it up, it typically will have a metallic taste.   No knowing why.

Question 9
