What Causes Puss Filled Boil And Bad Taste After Teeth Removal?

I had a tooth removed months ago,in the last month a boil came on the next tooth (upper left front.I broke it and there was puss and blood and behind my palate there was a heavy build up of something which drove me crazy,since then I took twenty pills for 10 days,the stuff behind the palate went and it seemed the swelling and puss was gone...now only days after finishing the pills I am back where I started,except now I also have a terrible taste in my mouth..help
