Hi Dear, Welcome to HCM. Understanding your concern. Thanks for your query . There is clear cut indication of infection according to symptoms mention by you . The fractured tooth got infected and the infection probably spread to surrounding area like gums and periodontal area this is responsible for metalic taste in mouth . I would suggest you to :- - To maintain proper oral hygiene . - Do beta-dine rinses thrice a day . - Take paracetamol for fever and pain. - Try to eat with side other then fractured tooth. Consult dentist /endodontist for proper examination and to rle out condition like upper respiratory track. Doctor will examine physically or may order x-ray to find out the extent of infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (metrinidazole ) for a week . After the the antibiotic course doctor will reexamine the tooth and may perform root canal the give crown or perform composite buildup. If he/she find that bone is not sufficient then doctor may exatract tooth. For now drink green tea and suck on sugar free mint candy . Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
