Default Extraction and burning pain

I had two front teeth on the upper left extracted almost 12 days ago. I had a course of flagyl. I currently have a scalded sensation on the roof of my mouth on that side almost from the center to the gumline. It has a bad sulfuric, salty metallic taste and the palate feels hot compared to the other side. I went to the dentist again this morning who took a bite wing and then another more extensive film further back that included part of the sinus. They said they didn't see anything. Something isn't right, though it isn't red and it isn't obviously swollen, but my tongue knows it isn't the same as it was and it is definitely puffy compared to the other (not much though).. there is a sense of pressure that kind of has a pulse to it.

I had a couple of days of the nerve hurting, but that is past.

I see an ENT tomorrow and plan to bring this up. Anything else might help? The extraction site is almost completely healed.
