A member asked:
I just had my appendix removed last week. now i found out i have abscess. what is the best pain medicine for swelling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If true abscess : You need to see you surgeon. And be started on antibiotics. That would help the pain by treating the infection. Also anti inflammatory medication would help. But an abscess could be a bad situation. So follow with your doctor asap
