Unfortunately there is not much you can give to fight the infection over the counter, you will need to get an antibiotic for Rico if this is a tooth root abscess. I would recommend Well and Good Buffered Aspirin from Petco for pain. I would not rely on this solely for treatment but more for managing his pain until you can get him in to be seen by a veterinarian. If this is a tooth root abscess, he will need this tooth removed, so I would get him in to be seen by a veterinarian sooner rather than later to have his teeth addressed. I hope this helps!
