Help! Do you have any natural/organic remedies for a tooth extraction infection?
Four days ago I had a wisdom tooth pulled. Somewhat of 'botched' job. During the extraction, the tooth broke. Bone was shaved and tissue cut in order to facilitate extraction (not fun). An infection ensued - resulting in a swollen jaw (also not fun). Chosen remedy: Allow body to heal itself via... Fairly high strength Colloidal Silver (actually 'Ionic Silver' @ aprox. 15 - 20 PPM) several times a day, nutritious organic meals, organic fruits/veggies, great amounts of salt water, vitamin supplements, rest, etc. I also use an excellent, affordable cleaning device called, 'ShowerPik' and have tried a similar item called, 'ShowerFloss' (also good, I own both). I am avoiding mainstream pharmaceuticals (root word, 'Pharmacia' = Sorcery), which includes typical prescription antibiotics. Am looking for other natural/organic remedies to alleviate this ailment. If you know of any, or have had a similar experience, please share - ASAP. HELP!!!.. and thanks. >_~ I will post my results here later.
Answers:
Having had a really bad infection just like this. I suggest seeing your Doctor. I ended up with an abcess & lockjaw with painful spasms. In the hospital for 4 days...
I am not a big fan of medicine either but the infection can spread to your brain...
