Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
Tooth infection is to be treated with root canal treatment, in this treatment the infected canals are removed disinfected and sealed to the apex.
A course of antibiotics and analgesics is required.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
