Hmm, I wonder if it's some kind of infection? Possibly your sinuses? Maybe they are draining and giving you a funny taste.
Are you taking any medication? I had a bad taste in my mouth in the days right after surgery, but I'm pretty sure it was because I wasn't eating much and all the medication was giving me bad breath.

I'm not on medication anymore. I took clindamycin for the first 2 weeks. It's strange because I don't feel any pain and no sore throat. I'm going to have an appointment with my surgeon today. I hope it's not an infection.
