Have you taken your temperature to check for fever? Swollen glands in your neck and/or under your jaw? Do you still have your tonsils? It's fairly hard to tell what is going on without an examination. I would recommend that you check in with your orthodontist/oral surgeon just to make sure you aren't developing an abscess. Best of luck to you.

Probably not helpful but I am 2 weeks post extraction (2 top bicuspids) and every so often I get a super gross taste in my mouth. Dentist and Dr said my sites look good and as long as there is no fever or swollen glands it's pretty normal. I hope it resolves on its own. Good luck!!
