What Causes Phlegm To Take Like Ammonia?
Hello...I have many issues going on with me but my main question is this...I have COPD pretty severe and when I cough the phlegm tastes like ammonia and/or bleach. A friend said that is from the tar from cigarettes (I smoke, but am trying to quit). Other issues I am dealing with is FMS, CFS, IBS, GERD, Sjogrens, depression and others. Any help will be appreciated.
