Non-nominal systems: Toilet odor has returned

Notes on non-nominal systems: The odor from our toilet has returned. The water level in the toilet is getting high, so it needs to be emptied. However, since we had previous toilet issues, I would like to hear from Mission Support regarding the best plan of action. Should I empty the toilet system per normal guidelines, or do we need to do another full flushing out of the system as was performed two days ago? Please advise. We would like to perform this procedure tonight, but we will await your response before proceeding.
