Can taking levothyroxine for low thyroid cause the metallic taste in my mouth after coughing?

Cough: No, levothyroxine is not associated with that. It is more than likely that you are coughing up a small amount of blood that has a metalic taste from the iron in it. This may be a concerning symptom. Please go see a physician for an evaluation.
