Infection: You did not mention if you've seen a dentist for treatment, what was causing the infection, what treatment was performed nor medications already prescribed. Infections can be very dangerous. Please call the dentist treating you for recommendations!

More info needed...: Are you under the care of a dentist? Are you taking antibiotics? Did you have an extraction or root canal therapy? Please repost with more specific info.

Infection: Dental infections require specific dental treatment to affect a cure. Pills alone will help reduce and limit spread of infection. Can't fix this by just popping pills. Please get to your Dentist ASAP for appropriate comprehensive treatment.
