I can smell decay in my mouth after my tooth extraction, is this normal?

Q. I had a bad tooth extracted last friday and today is monday. Since it was extracted there has been a terrible smell of decay on my breath and there is a terrible taste constantly in my mouth. Is this normal after an extraction. The tooth that was extracted was starting to decay but all the tooth and root were taken away. Why have i got this smell of decay and taste of decay,
A. You may have an infected or dry socket. I recommend returning to the dentist for further treatment
