What Causes Noisy Cough With Yellow Sputum And Cold?

Welcome:
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
Your symptoms of coughing up yellow sputum means you likely have some bacterial component to your infection now. And it can taste "off".
If you also have a fever, this could be pneumonia.
Or, it could be a bacterial bronchitis or a viral bronchitis with secondary bacterial infection.
I think at this point it would be good to go in to your doctor or an urgent care clinic so that your lungs can be listened to (and possibly a chest xray). If you have a fever, don't wait, go be seen today.
If you are prescribed an antibiotic (which is likely to happen if you go in to be seen), consider also taking a probiotic supplement to keep your bowels healthy. These can be taken a couple hours before or after the antibiotic.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information or clarification.
