Ok: Frequently the body gets a viral upper respiratory infection and a secondary bacterial bronchitis or sinusitis. Sinusitis can cause a metallic flavor in the mouth

Ans: Well you have a viral infection. Let's have you steam. In other words drink hot fluids like soup and clear the mucous rest and hydrate. See how you feel after doing this for a few days vid still no better time for the visit to the doctor
