I've had a cold for around 3 weeks now. =(

I havn't had a foul taste though, just a sore throat now and again.
Sounds like exactly what i've got right now, so don't worry.
I'm not worried, just annoyed. Does the bitter taste mean bad breath (Not that I'm saying anything about the oral hygiene of other folks on here)?
Yes. Drinks lots of water and brush your teeth frequently to reduce the smell of your breath, and/or chew chewing gum :wink:
I'm currently using mints - helps unblock my nose, keeps breath fresh and gets rid of the nasty taste of a cold!
