A member asked:
What can cause a metallic taste with phlegm coming up with post pneumonia cough?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Side effect: The metallic taste may sometimes be a side effect of the antibiotics that are frequently used to treat the pneumonia. Hence the metallic taste may not have much to do with the phlegm itself.
