Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bitter taste can be because of the sinus infection or it can be secondary to any pus discharge secondary to tooth or gum infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly. Mean while you can use chlorhexidine mouth washes.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
