If the infection spreads, it can cause septicemia. However, the odds for this are small. Since your tooth will have to be carried for in three months, you might want to use some over –the-counter products to decrease inflammation. Applying some over-the-counter products with natural antibiotics might be helpful. Aloe Vera products and propolis products are one of them. Before taking each product be sure you were never allergic to any of the ingredients. This is especially important for propolis.
