Infection/dry socket: Foul taste usually indicates infection; not unusual to have a dry socket following a difficult surgical extraction of a lower molar. Return to the dentist to place medication in the extraction site and they will most likely also prescribe an antibiotic.

See an OS,: Oral surgeons, also called maxillofacial surgeons, are trained to detect, diagnose, and prevent defects and diseases that affect the mouth, jaw, teeth, and gums. Your condition requires a specialist treatment. Good luck.

Probably: See the Dentist or Oral Surgeon that treated you. Additional management probably required. This is most definitely is not a DIY situation.
