For an almost any infection, e.g. a cut, tooth infection, flu etc — use raw apple cider vinegar to get you on your feet the next day or two. Braggs is one brand sold at natural foods stores. Mix one ounce with equal honey and two parts water (or 1 part brandy). Take three times and see what happens.

If you have a tooth ache get raw vinegar alone and swish it on aching tooth for around 30 seconds to a minute and the pain will be gone in around 5 minutes. Putting Stevia brand sweetener on your tooth is another way to remove pain and should work in under 5 minutes. Stevia actually builds up tooth enamel, your immune system, and is safe for diabetics.
