Hi..
Thanks for the query..

If you have the abscess still present and you have not got it treated then it can cause continuous bad taste due to infection and pus discharge..

So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated so that i the abscess is still present actively draining it should be completely drained..

In case if it is related to tooth then the tooth should be treated so that the infection is resolved..

It will be followed by a course of antibiotics and painkillers.

For now do warm saline gargles and flavoured antiseptic mouthwash gargles..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
