hi
welcome to HCM
Dont worry, sometime due to non proper healing, food accumulate in open wound and bacteria attacks there which leads to bacterial growth.
and this is causing you bad breath (halitosis).
do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day. visit your dentist to get proper cleaning by betadine and ointment placement.
hope it will help you
thank you
