"Because smell and taste are so closely linked, sinus issues can impair a person's sense of taste or cause a metallic taste in the mouth. A blocked nose is one symptom of a sinus issue. Once the sinus problem subsides, the metallic taste should also go away."

"A metallic taste when coughing might stem from certain medical treatments or an underlying condition, such as gum disease. A respiratory tract infection can sometimes lead to blood in sputum, which can taste metallic. The metallic taste might also occur at other times, such as while eating or drinking."
