Hi, I've had Bronchiectasis for a few years and I've recently been diagnosed with a chest infection and this time ive had a terrible cough where ive actually lost my voice. Today I've been coughing up mettalic tasting mucus, this is the first time I've ever done this and no matter what I do i can't get rid of the taste ( I've brushed my teeth, used cordosyl mouthwash and even sucked on mints). I wondered if anyone else has ever had this and what might have caused it.

If you've been taking antibiotics or other medication these could be the cause, although Bronchiectasis can on it's own be a cause of the taste. Go to Bronchiectasis R Us it's a site especially for Bronch sufferers and is a mine of information.
