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!

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.
