I've been having a bitter taste in my mouth whenever I cough, but there's no blood in the phlegm. I've also got on-and-off congestion and a stuffy nose. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

You may be experiencing symptoms of post-nasal drip. To help with the bitter taste in your mouth and congestion, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like loratadine (Claritin) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can use a nasal decongestant spray like oxymetazoline (Afrin) 2-3 sprays in each nostril every 12 hours as needed for congestion. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to help with your symptoms.
