Suffered With Chest Infection. Took Antibiotic. Having Cough And Getting Metallic Taste. Do I Have Another Infection?
Have a cough , again. Suffered with chest infection nearly two months ago. Gave up smoking , took antibiotics and within a week felt great. Now the cough seems to be getting persistent again and have a nasty metallic taste when I cough. Taste is almost like cigarette smoke sometimes. I still don t smoke. Do I have another infection?

if you still have cough ,please go ahead for chest x ray to rule out any infection.
sometimes during the use of antibiotics may cause metallic taste.
you might not be having any infection.
