Pericoronitis of impacted tooth.
Gingivitis
Periodontal abscess.
Deep dental caries progressed into periapical abscess.
I would suggest you to get a clinical and x-ray evaluation.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
Decayed teeth has to be restored or root canal treated.
Deep scaling is adviced.
Get impacted tooth extracted or flap overlying tooth has to be removed.
Avoid intake of too much of salty/spicy/allergic foods.
Hope this helps.

Hi and welcome, sore tastes in the mouth is may be due to underlying oral infections , gingivitis , decayed teeth. Improper brushing and tongue cleaning , flossing and poor oral hygiene may also lead to inflammation of oral tissues and bad taste. Maintain good oral hygiene by practising regular mouth rinsing with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like betadine or chlorhexidine. start with multivitamin supplements for 7 to 10 days and vitamin C lozenges will help in resolving the problem. avoid alcohol , carbonated drinks , tobacco chewing and smoking as these may worsen the area affected. i hope this helps , take care.
