Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Bad breath can be due to several causes including mouth infection, sinusitis, lung infections and stomach infections.
Since Flagyl ( Metronidazole) helped you, it is likely to be due to an anaerobic bacterial infection.
You can use it again, paying also good attention to oral hygiene. It may improve.
If it does not, it would be better to check for the other infections I mentioned and treated properly.
Also avoid dehydration and mouth breathing, brush your teeth after each meal and floss your teeth and massage your gums.
Do get back to me if you have further query
