Hello,
If the crickets are smaller than the space between the eyes you shouldn't need to worry about impaction issues at all. It sounds like he is doing better.
It is always slow for them to progress after they have been ill.
The Metronidazole can be given for flagellates, protozoans or some vets will give as an appetite stimulant. It hasn't been proven as a highly effective appetite stimulant. It probably just helps clear out the system some. You can also get some bee pollen powder to sprinkle on his food, too which will help to boost his appetite & immune system, too.
