ER/UC: go to a clinic now- a nasal abscess can spread through your face and you should be on medication. I recommend an urgent care clinic or ER

Here are some...: It this the first occurrence of this kind you have had? Are you feeling sick such as fever and chill? If not and bearable, you may wait out till its spontaneous rupture and drain to ease the pain. If unbearable or with chill, seek evaluation and counseling right now. But even if ruptured, still timely seek evaluation so to guide future prevention. Best wish...
