From the description: am really concerned that your laceration has become infected. Although I am a believer in holistic medicine - I really encourage you to see a dentist or physician ASAP (before this worsens).

Give it time: No home remedies worth a mention. "Holistic" is without real meaning. All homeopathic remedies are useless except as placebo. Homeopathy made no sense when invented 150 years ago and it still consists of silly dilutions of useless molecules until there is not a single molecule left in the distilled water you buy in a weird bottle. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is sold as a sleeping pill. Other antihistamines work bett
