See a dentist asap: An abscess is an infection. Infections do not go away unless the cause of the infection is resolved. This is true even if you are on antibiotics. Untreated infections can spread to other parts of your body and cause serious complications. People have died from untreated infections. See a dentist for an evaluation and definitive treatment asap.

Root Canal: See your dentist for evaluation of the nerve in the tooth. Sounds like you might need a root canal.

Call Dentist...now: You can't fix this yourself. You have a serious localized infection that can only get worse, spreading through your circulatory system to other organ systems. It needs immediate treatment by a professional. Would you ask your neighbor to treat your abscess? What makes you think you could do it better than your neighbor? Please, call your Dentist now.
