Drain and clean.: Sounds painful. This needs to opened and drained in a clean environment. The danger is that the infection reaches your bloodstream and becomes systemic. This will make you feel very ill which sounds like you may be. Seek prompt medical attention to have the abscess opened and drained. You will likely me administered antibiotics. Go now.

Dr visit: You may still have pus that needs to be released or the infection could have spread to the surrounding skin (cellulitis). if it is the latter, you may require a course of antibiotics to resolve the infection.
