Suggest Treatment For Foul Smelled Taste After Wisdom Tooth Extraction

HI, i recently got my wisdom teeth taken out and i am taking hydrocodone for my pain, but after a few days i started to get this substance on my tongue that tasted/smelled foul, i didnt know if this was a side effect of the medication or if it is something more serious.

dear

it seems to be a side effect of medication you are taking- take lots of water and use an antiseptic mouthwash.
