Drainage: If you have been on antibiotics and your abscess has gotten worse, the only cure is incision and drainage. I know it sounds scary but I promise once the pus is drained you will feel worlds better. You need to see your doctor or go to an ER for treatment as soon as possible.

SEE DOCTOR: THE ABSCESS HAS TO BE LANCED (AND DRAINED) OTHERWISE THIS WILL FEEL WORSE AND WIL NOT GET BETTER.
