I've been semi-sick with a cold/cough the last week ... what's with the funny taste in my mouth (I feel it most when swallowing) and weird feeling in my sinus (not talking about the stuffy one) ? Can't really describe it better than that...

What's the reason behind this ?

It's not unpleasant taste/feeling either... just very WEIRD.

Honestly I have no idea what you're talking about, but good luck with all of that :p.

LOL

Is it a metallic taste? That could mean you've been abducted by aliens and anally probed.

are you taking any meds?

also, it could just be that the bacterial flora in your mouth is messed up due to being sick.

Could be Dioxin poisoning. If you face starts to break out, head to the hospital immediately.....;)

Drink more water, brush your teeth and use mouthwash.

you know what, metallic is probably the best way to describe it.

Metallic taste can mean any number of things, it's really common especially if you've had some sort of infection/virus. It will probably pass in a day or two.

If it doesn't go see your doctor.
