What Causes An Altered Sense Of Taste?

When i exhale, i seem to have this funny taste coming from my throat into my mouth. It kinda tastes like grease to me but i'm not sure. The thing is, I've had a casual consistent cough for a few weeks now. That might be a sign of it. I just want to know the best way to get rid of that odor.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The altered taste can be secondary to the cough or respiratory tract infection, nothing to be panic, once the cough comes down, the altered taste will return back to normal. You can consult a ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
