[|Human|] I have asthma, and lately these past few days I ve been had a bad cough. When I cough I get a bad metal taste in my mouth. My chest is really tight, and I wake up several times throughout the night doing nebulizer treatments with little to none relief. Am I getting sick or is it just my asthma?
[|AI|]  Hello, In asthma these type of cough with metal taste generally not present, but breathlessness is present. Two things1. You are not taking your inhaler properly, the technique is more important and nowadays MDI bu date or forecourt is famous and use it with zero stat VT spacer. Again technique is more important. 2. For metal taste sputum-Go for sputum gram staining and bacterial culture and sensitivity then treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
