A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abscesses: Hi Calcifications are indications that the abscess pocket is starting to mature - i.e. your body is trying to build a wall around it. Abscesses are fluid pockets that are filled with bacteria and can commonly be difficult to treat with medication alone. Sometimes they require drainage as well in order to heal properly. Best to review the CT images with your treating doctor and see what they think
