What Could Cause Swelling And Sweet Metallic Taste Post Oro-antral Fistula?
After wisdom teeth extraction, developed oro-antral fistula, opening between mouth and sinus. My oral surgeon closed the opening with stitches and put me on antibiotics. Now I have a sweet metallic taste in mouth, blood comes occasionally when I spit and a little swelling in the area.

Dear user,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
It is normal things,do not worry about all, because metallic taste can be due to using antibiotics and some blood also comes due to forcefully split and using hot water,food etc.swelling also occur due to injury throw the instrument.
so eat soft food and keep continue your antibiotics.you will feel better.
thanks.
