Smell might be due to localised collection of pus. As you have already mentioned about taking medication toothache n swelling might have temporarily subsided .But the root cause of infection needs to be ruled out .
Next Steps
Visit your dentist as soon as possible

You can continue the medication for 7 days
Rx
Tab Augmentin 625mg. BD
Tab Metrogyl 400mg TDS
Tab Diclomol SOS (given in case of pain)
Taking medication is not the permanent solution and it seems there is pus forming , the tooth may require removal or RCT(root canal treatment) for that particular tooth
Next Steps
See your dentist as proper clinical and radiographical examination will give a proper treatment plan
Health Tips
Maintain oral hygiene (brush twice)

I guess that's salty in taste if so there is accumulation of pus. So have medications prescribed previous dentist and get rid of the tooth.
