@peach414144 . Hi Peach. When phlegm mixes with saliva, as it can, it will taste salty. Nothing to worry about.
Are you feeling well, no fever?

No fever. However, I have never had my phlegm taste like salt ever. This just started about two weeks ago.

Peach, I agree with merpreb, not much to worry about:
Post-nasal drip from a sinus infection or allergies could also be to blame. The mucus from your nose can build up in the back of your throat when you're sick. If it mixes with the saliva in your mouth, it can cause a salty taste. You may also feel like you have a stuffy, runny nose or like it's hard to breathe.
