Try contacting a pharmacist at a drug store to ascertain if they recommend an over the counter remedy for your infected tooth. Swoosh some hydrogen peroxide in your mouth for like 5-10 minutes, about 3 times a day; but DO NOT SWALLOW. More than likely, it will get worse even wile you are trying remedies. Contact your dentist or doctor for anti-biotics to kill the bacteria.

I would also recommend you buy some peroxide and gargle with it often. Peroxide is really cheap and works very well. If the infection is not too bad that should correct it.
