Hello!Welcome to HCM.
Certain antibiotics will cause bad taste on your tongue.Do not panic.A bad taste and cold will not suggest a heart problem.
Take cetrizine for relief from the symptoms.Symptoms lasting more than 3 weeks suggests a allergic rhinitis rather than cold.
Do not take too much of antibiotics.Please see your physician for a clinical evaluation.
