Suggest Treatment For Salty Taste In Mouth And Excessive Saliva

I got 4 molars pulled 6 days ago and I have a really bad salty taste in my mouth along with a large amount of saliva. Is their anything I can do to get rid of the salty taste? It makes me nauseous. I brush my teeth often and use mouth wash but it does not worked.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The salty taste in the mouth can be because of the pus discharge secondary to gum or tooth infection which resulted in pus formation.
The excessive salivary secretion is also because of the gum or tooth infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If there is a gum infection, get the teeth cleaned and rinse your mouth with saline. If it is a tooth infection, get the tooth treated with RCT or extraction.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
