I have an infected tooth that I am on antibiotics for, but this morning I woke up with a sore throat and awful taste in my mouth and my lips are sore/burning ... How can this be possible on antibiotics?

Metronidazole or ornidazole/tinadazole and some other antibiotics can lead to metallic taste in mouth you might like to discuss this with your dentist so that he can prescribe you another ones !

The sore throat could be a viral infection unrelated to the antibiotic. However sometimes antibiotics can also cause allergic reactions. Consult your doctor if the condition persists or your symptoms worsen
