How can I heal up a dental fistula without the tooth being pulled?

I have a pus draining fistula on a tooth where a bridge is anchored on. Antibiotic treatment hasn't helped. Are there any natural remedies?

Nope, no natural remedies will cure a badly-infected tooth.

You have a fistula because the tooth above it is serving as a reservoir for the bacteria, and no natural remedies can get in that tooth, kill all the germs, and seal it off so it won't be infected again.

The only way to get rid of the source of the infection is to either do endodontics treatment, or get the tooth pulled, depending on the specifics of your situation (to be determined by a thorough evaluation by a dentist).

Hope this helps.

Has the tooth had a root canal? You may consider this...

Ice.
Then Drink Water.
Ice.

Only a dentist/oral surgeon who sees the situation directly can give you a proper answer. Please let this stay in their hands. I am concerned that infection might be in your head too long, which is dangerous. If they have some tips for natural remedies in addition, then good, but I would not wait around. If you lose the tooth, so be it.

Ditto the answer from thddspc, but I'd add that this could also be a perio problem and not just a root canal problem. You will not heal this fistula at home, no matter what. Get it fixed before you lose your bridge.
