5 days after I had two wisdom teeth extracted (upper & lower), seemingly out of nowhere I have a VERY very salty taste in my mouth. I can even taste the salt in my nose.
This comes on the heels of what was an extremely sore throat on the side of the extraction. At first I feared that the salty taste was due to dehydration because my extremely sore throat had made it almost impossible for me to drink. However, after being seen by a physician, dehydration was ruled out.
I'm very worried that I may have an oral-antral fistula or some other extraction related complication.
Worse yet, I'm not scheduled for a post op follow until 2 days from now.
