Move appointment: Do not know why you cannot take antibiotics, but an abscess left untreated for ten days without the ability to treat the infection with antibiotics can become a real medical emergency. Your appointment needs to moved up to tomorrow. Make the arrangements.

Ice: If there's swelling on outside and feels hot to touch apply ice 20 min on and 20 min off for an hour and then repeat in an hour if needed. Keep area clean by brushing lightly
