Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bad breath can be secondary to the dry socket or food debris stuck in the socket resulting in bad breath. Even the cold and sinusitis can also cause bad breath. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
