I'm not feeling well, and of course, you can't get hold of a doctor on Sunday. Does anyone know any home remedies or homeopathic remedies that can be used to get rid of infection? Something that has antibiotic properties? Thanks in advance for sharing.

I use a combination of Vitamin A, C, and E. The 1st day - take 3 capsules of Vitamin A, 2000 mg of Vitamin C, and 2 capsules of Vitamin E. 2nd day - only take 2 capsules of Vitamin A and the same amount of the others 3rd day - just take 1 capsule of Vitamin A and the same amount of the others Usually the infection is either gone or under control by the end of the 3rd day. I continue to take 1 capsule of Vitamin A, 1,000 mg of Vitamin C and 1 capsule of Vitamin E for an entire week after that to make sure what ever it was is gone. Vitmain A is a great antiviral; BUT, it can be toxic if you take too much for too long. So taking 3,2,1 and then staying at 1; gives it the initial "punch" you need and then tapers down to a safe, sustainable level. The Vitamin C and E are great antibacterials and you can take those levels safely anytime.

Excellent. Thank you. I need to institute a good vitamin regimen anyway as I have been slacking on my vitamin C intake.

warm water and salt. the salt kills any germs. i had to gargle with it wheni had a broken tooth pulled and was told that it would keep infection away so mabe if you tried this it would work

This is good advice for tooth trouble. Warm water and salt rinses and follow it with a peroxide rinse or peroxide based mouthwash. I appreciate the ideas.
