For some people this may be TMI. Just a warning.
About 10 days ago I had a quick cold, and recovered about a week ago. Mostly, that is, I still cough up some very small chucks of thick mucus right now, but not much at all, and all other symptoms are gone. Plus the mucus is now clear, instead of a greenish-yellow.
However, I have this taste in the back of my mouth, like on the area of the tongue thats just at the start of the throat. And it tastes awful. It isnt very strong, but it has been lingering for about 5 days now, and it is driving me nuts. It tastes like it might be a chunk of mucus left over from the cold I had (it has that bitter taste that accompanies hacking up a chunk of crap out of your lower throat). But deliberate attempts to cough, snort, or otherwise get this theorized crud out have failed.
If I had some Everclear, I'd have done a double shot of that, which clears about anything out of your throat (and anything out of your brain, too). But I'm out. No 151, either. I do have some 100 SoCo that I am seriously considering gargling. But I thought I'd ask if anyone else might have a suggestion that doesnt involve gargling liquor. In the mean time I've been coping by covering the taste with a lot of cough drops.
