My dogs nose is very swollen. It might be a tooth. What can I give him that is natural and safe, to fight infection? And to fight pain as well.

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!
