Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Metallic Taste In The Mouth

Received orthotic appliances on April 29th. I have a history of metal alloy allergies. Experienced initial severe facial edema and sores, constant pain. Treated with aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and two rounds of antibiotics. Sores have resolved. Continue to experience lymph node enlargements, sore throat, and difficulty hearing out of left ear. Metallic taste, loss of appetite due to discomfort. CBC and throat culture normal. No temperature. Going to see dentist need to decide about removing braces my decision is yes. What do you think?
