See dentist: Do not take anything not given by your dentist or doctor. You must also remove the source of the infection to truly treat problem, see a qualified dentist.

Infected tooth: Don't take any prescription medication without being seen by a dentist. Use warm salt water rinse for now (if no high blood pressure) than see a dentist asap.
