Sour taste: Advisable to return to Dentist or Oral Surgeon for reevaluation. Additional course of antibiotics may be indicated.

See the surgeon : It is usually due to presence of food debris or infection in the extraction site that is difficult to clean. Your surgeon that performs the surgery can clean and place medicated dressing if indicated. Other measures may be indicated. You should have it checked till resolution of this problem.
