Had a abscess lanced on my face yesterday, right above my lip the size of a silvr dollr. should it still be swollen, red, hard and have puss coming out ?

Abscess swelling: It will take more than one day for the drainage and swelling to so side. If the situation worsens, or if it doesn't improve after 3-5 days, let your physician know. Warm soaks may be helpful.
