No, he needs special antibiotics in order to get better, you can only get those from a vet. If money is an issue please contact a reptile charity in your area of living, they can help with costs of treatment in many cases. Many vets also have payment plans, and there is also a credit company that will land you money toward vet bills ( https://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/) .
