I have been taking chloramphenicol eye drops for a few days and i have a weird taste in my mouth why?

it's connected: The drops are draining down your nasolacrimal duct into the back of your throat. Put pressure in corner between you eye and nose for a minute or two after the drop and you prob won't taste it.
