Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You were having infected tooth and this can cause aspiration of pus in the lungs and development of lung Infection.
So we should get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection as a cause for your coughing.
Your metallic taste is due to antibiotics you are taking.
If chest x ray is normal than no need to worry much for cough.
Take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs for cough suppression.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
