Brief Answer: Hello Detailed Answer: 1. The know if the abscess is still present I will have to examine him, it is possible at times for an abscess to form again if it was not removed properly the first time. But usually doctors are careful and its a rarity 2. It could be one of the reasons for the low grade fever but typically an abscess causes a high grade fever. Was the abscess pus sent for culture and sensitivity? If it was then based on the report the antibiotic could have been changed. 3. Low grade fevers need not always be an infection, pain itself causes a low grade rise in temperature. I advice you to buy a digital thermometer and check the exact temperature to know if the child actually has fever. I am sorry for the short delay in my reply, I was on call at my hospital. Regards
