Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
This could be due to an open cavity in the tooth, there could be possibly food lodgement.
I would suggest you to get a checkup done, if required get the tooth filled.
Avoid eating from the same side.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
If your tooth has chipped off, it means it was infected and the infection has spread to apical region that is why it has become brittle and getting fractured.
The salty taste which you are experiencing can be the pus only which has formed due to the infection .
You have to get a root canal treatment of the tooth, so it will be better that you visit your dentist early.
Hope it will help you.
Thank you
