hi, after the diagnosis of typhiod/enteric fever, you should be treated with appropriate antibiotics for atleast 7-10 days. you took antibiotics twice for enteric fever and for sore throat, it can lead to metallic taste, and it will be there till the drug is completely metabolised in the body. and the toxins released by the organism will cause coated tongue and altered taste. take antacids, multivitamins and probiotics. all the very best.
