I'm a little worried about something. I had typhoid fever last week and while I don't have the fever anymore, my mouth is still tasting really bitter. I've tried a bunch of things but nothing's working. I'm also feeling pretty weak. What could be causing the bitter taste and how can I get rid of it?

I'm a bit concerned about this pain I'm feeling in my left arm after a blood test, especially since I usually don't have any issues with them.
