Antibiotics: The drainage you are tasting is puss and you should spit out if you taste it. The antibiotic will help get rid of the infection and the drainage, but only for short time. It'll be important that you get definitive treatment to eliminate the cause of the infection.

Draining infection: While Amoxicillin is often the most useful antibiotic to help control the spread of oral infections, it alone cannot eradicate an infection, especially an acute one that is draining pus. It also requires removal of the cause of the infection with definitive treatment and the body's own defense mechanisms. I hope that you are under the care of a dentist for this infection.
