?Reflux: Sometimes a chronic cough is caused be gastric reflux and that can also leave a bad taste in your mouth... You should talk to your dr about this.

Sinobronchial syndro: I agree that reflux is a possibility; however, cough with odoe suggests sinus and/or bronchial infection. You must be examined and treated: your question cannot definitively be answered online. Call for a medical visit.
