Question 1

i have a sore throat with yellowish phlegm. almost metal taste in my mouth with a cough. started out with congestion however now my voice sounds hoarse?

Accepted Answer

Viral syndrome : Based on what you are saying (without a complete examination), a virus can explain this entire set of symptoms, such as COVID 19. See a doctor via telemedicine Keep isolated

Question 2

i have a metalic taste in my mouth when i cough. what might be the cause.?

Accepted Answer

URI, cold, bronchial: Change in quantity and type of mucus in response to a bronchial infection can taste different in your mouth when coughed up.  Resolution of the cold, bronchitis etc., should return things back to normal, no apparent taste.  Regular mucus probably has some minimal taste but you just get used to it and don't notice it.  You're noticing the change.

Question 3

i have had a rather persistent cough for about a month now . i get a bloody/metallic taste in my mouth  often once i cough. i do not see any blood though.?

Accepted Answer

Need to see Doc.: Chronic cough can be related to allergic rhinitis, post nasal drip, chronic sinus condition, chronic bronchitis, gerd, bronchial asthma, bronchiectesis. Try saline nasal irrigation. Avoid cigarettes smoking. Need evaluation by physician, preferably lung specialist to work up chronic cough if clinically necessary.

Question 4

i get a dry cough every winter, does not produce mucus and a metallic taste in my mouth, labored and wheezing breath which worsens during exercise

Accepted Answer

Sounds like asthma: You likely have bronchial asthma which is often worsened by breathing in cold and dry air. Interestingly dust mites population usually increases from early winter to early spring and thus you may have a dust mite allergy as well. You need to get a lung function test and may need a controller drug for asthma at least during the winter months. The metallic taste s-&gt; ? sinusitis or gum disease.

Question 5

where is this blood that i taste and then spit out it occurs occasionally but i never cough it up or anything like that and i feel fine i just randomly get that blood metallic taste and after 2 or 3 spits its gone is it cancer?? i have no symptoms

Accepted Answer

Blood in mouth: Your post is vague... do you actually have blood in your saliva? Or is it just a "taste"? Blood in your saliva can be coming from inflamed gums. Have you seen a dentist for a routine hygiene visit within the last six months? Brushing and flossing at home may not be enough.

Question 6

why do i have a metallic taste in my mouth when i cough?

Accepted Answer

Metalic taste: The metallic taste is probably from the phlem that you are coughing up.  The most common causes of metallic tasting phlem are a side effect of medications you may be taking-- specifically antibiotics.  It can also be caused by dehydration.  Not so common causes include cystic fibrosis and accidental poisoning.

Question 7

i have a sweet taste in my mouth when i cough,  a strange thud like feeling in my chest when i exhale, and a sharp pain in my upper right chest?

Accepted Answer

Costochondritis: The sweet taste is difficult to explain. The pain in the chest with breathing is probably costochondritis .  This is due to an inflammation of the chest wall after a virus or a common cold.  It is usually self limited and responds to Motrin 800 mg 3 times a day with food.  If it does not improve over the next few days get a chest X-ray to rule out a walking pneumonia.  Good luck and feel better.

Question 8

why do i have a metallic taste in my mouth when i cough? i'm not on an antibiotic anymore i stopped almost 2 months ago but my cough and wheezing are still lingering. is that normal for it to be 2 months with cough and wheezing and metallic taste? thanks!

Accepted Answer

See your doctor : If you have had lingering cough and wheezing for 2 months you should go back to your doctor.  It could be serious.
