if there is abscess use of antibiotic is not gonna help that much u hav to drain thre pus.we generally put the pt on antibiotic therapy to just stabilize the patient .try to reduce the infection.whn u kno abscess is periodontal origin thn i will suggest u to go fort deep scaling so that u can drain the pus as extn as possible thn put the pt on antibiotic therapy ,beta lactam is good choice but do not forget to provide an anaerobic coverage.lik metronidazole.in my clinic i always prefer for chlorhexidine irrigation ,it is very friendly to the periodontium.
but in case of abscess originating from pulpal rzn thn first put on antibiotic therapy based aha or bha guidline ,either u can go for access opening or for extraction...

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
According to your description i suppose that the patient is periodontically compromised.
I would suggest a thorough clinical examination in the patient OPG radiograph will be helpful in deciding the diagnosis nad treatment plan.
Go for complete mouth scaling and polishing and curettage.
Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics.
If the abscess is of dental origin then depending upon the x-rays rct or extraction of the tooth can be carried out.
Lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash gargles can be helpful.
Hope this helps out.
Regards...
