There was a study that said echinacea (sp?) did nothing. It was all over the news. Goldenseal might help but you should only use it 1-2 weeks at a time.

try the penacillin/antibotics they give you
it does wonders
and possibly glutamine..i mean, if it works for majo rburn victims to recover, why not for your infection.. i think taking glutamine helped me scar up some nasty cuts i got awhile ago
i feel you tho..got my wisedom teeth out earlier this summer and it got infected...after like 2 months too..lol i think it was a mixture of cigerattes and almonds/food getting stuck in the socket

Antibiotic is the best way to go. Its only going to get worse, I know exactly what you are going through. Dont delay getting it pulled it will only hurt your workouts thinking about it all the time. The sooner you get it over with the sooner you will be back on track for some massive gains!

I've heard amoxicillin is an awesome Wisdom-tooth-removal-support supplement.

When I got my wisdoms pulled I took this homeopathic medicine called Arnica Montana. They were these little pellets which tasted like sugar which you would dissolve under your tounge. They worked like a charm. I took them about 2 weeks prior and then for one week post, and I had very little plain and vertually no swelling. I even went to a party the same night I got my teeth out, which to me is a miravle just from seeing how everyoine else had been how has had theirs out. I know this stuff can be easily found, cuz another big use for it is for muscle sorness. Seriously go find some and give it a shot, it works well.

If the wisdom teeth are infected, you should be on antibiotics and following closely with your dentist/oral surgeon. Inadequate treatment can lead to abscess formation and eventual spread of the infection.Originally Posted by No0b
On a sidenote, a few years back I took care of a patient that delayed treatment for a dental infection, it lead to local abscess formation, and eventually led to a brain abscess. Such an occurrence is not very common, but I use it to illustrate the importance of not f***ing around with homeopathic remedies for something that can potentially be very serious.
