Yes I have a root canal that I have not taken care of. It’s been about 5 days since I woke up with a bad taste and smell. Everything I eat taste rotten and smells rotten.
Brief Answer:
The symptoms are probably related to the tooth infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,
The symptoms are probably related to the tooth infection. A cycle of antibiotics may be needed to treat the infection.
I also suggest to gargle with salty water and maintain a good oral hygiene.
A consult with a dentist is needed to help drain the root canal infection.
Hope it helps dear.
