See a dentist!: Go to a dentist asap and have them take an x-ray to rule out very heavy occlusion, a fractured root, or a more serious infection.

Loose tooth: Can be caused by loss of surrounding bone/gums, infection of tooth/ gums, systemic disease, traumatic occlusion, bad bite, and many other reasons. There's no homeopathic or OTC "fix." Please, you need do see a Dentist quickly. Delay will only allow problem to worsen. Good luck.
