What Causes Sulfur Taste In The Mouth After Removing The Wisdom Tooth?

Hey! I got my wisdom teeth removed about a week ago. But starting yesterday it feels/tastes like I'm swallowing little balls of sulfur and egg salad (which i have not ate.) that have come from the holes. For the most part, the pain is decreasing, and I don't have a dry socket...and I've been rinsing with salt water and Thieves Oil. Whats going on? Thanks!
