Suggest treatment for chest infection and metallic taste
Patient: I have had a chest infection which has left me with metallic tasting cattarh and mucous that goes down my nose to throat. Is this normal. I gave been given steroids, then antibiotics, then naval spray, then inhaler with tube. Should it take 8 weeks to go away? Doctor: Thanks for the query. The condition you mentioned is known as post nasal drip and is a common cause of chronic cough. Treatment consist of antibiotics to cure infection and steroid nasal spray if you have nasal allergy. Any way nasal spray has to be continued for 3 months. Best wishes
