Cough/congestion that is not going

2017-06-26 06:03:48
For the past month I have had a very slight cough. Maybe just thrice a day but there is congestion. I have tried Ascoril and been eating ginger but the problem still persists. Very rarely and mostly in the mornings with getting up I get a slight metallic taste in my throat but it goes immediately on clearing the throat. My throat isn't clearing.
