rosejasmine,
Anytime a tooth is extracted there will be an unfavorable taste in the mouth during the initial healing phase because of the deep open wound. If the area is not infected, the taste will subside in a few days. If you are packing food in the socket and/or rinsing with mouth wash, then the site can become very inflamed and irritated which could make the taste worse.
Antibiotics can only take care of the residual infectious bacteria so long as the surgical site was debrided (scraped) of visible diseased tissue and bone. If the site was not scraped clean, then the antibiotic may not be completely effective.
When are you scheduled to go back for a post op check?
