A member asked:
Can phlegm in your lungs have a metallic taste when coughing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My perspective: As a dentist you may have some old failing fillings that as you cough may make you notice the metallic taste (assuming you have amalgam/silver fillings) as far as what coming out of your lungs you may want to consult your md if this doesnt clear up quickly!
