the bad breath is due to blocked sinuses and nose as the mucus blocked get infection causing bad breath
flagyl is safe even in this age
but this will only clear the infection but as the blocked mucous is still inside it will again get infection
need to investigate for blockage and clear the cause by consulting ent doctor
