Summary
They took a five-day course of medication in April 2022 and described a metallic taste as a common side-effect. The taste appeared 1.5 hours after the first dose and lasted the whole five days and most of the sixth. After stopping, congestion and a cough lasted well over 10 days before clearing completely. The taste itself was gone about three days after the last dose.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
