Abscess on nose wont go away on anti-biotics. what do i do now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abscess: If you have a true abscess, this is not uncommon. The problem is that once an abscess forms, there is a pocket of pus and there is no good blood supply to take the antibiotics to the infection. An abscess needs to be drained. This can be done by your local friendly ENT specialist.
