What Causes Stomach Sickness And Salty Taste While On Medication For C.diff?

I am being treated for possible C.diff with 500 mg. metronidazole. After two days of taking this I have become very nauseous and my stomach is burning. I stopped taking the medication 24 hours ago but continue to be sick to my stomach. My tongue taste very salty and is constantly salivating. Should this be happening or could something else be wrong?
