Sick Taste in mouth, Chapped Lips?

In the past few days. I feel like I am fighting off a cold with no actual cold present. My whole body aches and I have gross taste in mouth. My lips are chapped. I have been putting chap-stick on. I've brushed my teeth and tongue. My throat doesn't hurt. I have been taking ibuprofen and vitamins to help my body do whatever it is trying to do. But I want the taste out of my mouth it is driving me crazy. I have also gargled with warm salt water.
