I'm in a foreign country, need your help [I'm Affectionate]

I have an apartment in a foreign country. The bathroom is very smelly because if pipe malfunctioning to the point of toxic harmful levels, I can't fix the pipes yet. Quick fix? Vinegar? Does vinegar purify the air so it is no longer toxic, or does it just make the toxic gases "invisible illusions"?

The reason you will smell smells in a bathroom is because the sewer gas is coming up this is normally stopped by what's known as a p-trap you can Google it and it'll show you all about it you need to make sure that there's always water in the toilet because that blocks the gas from coming up through make sure there's a seal around the bottom of the toilet and if you pull the plug on the bathtub put the plug back in and put a little bit of water over it in the bathtub in the sink and this will block sewer gas from being able to come back up through those pipes
