Q: i developed a cough about 4 days ago, and when i go to spit out what was coughed up, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, what could it be?

: The smell could be from the infection in the respiratory tract or from the mouth. It should clear up when your cold is better. If not you need to be checked for cause.
