Hello,
Thanks for writing to us,
I would like you to know that abcess is from an infected tooth, in your case root canal treatment has already been performed therefore in order to reaolve infection, we need to drain the abcess.
The antibiotics are definitely going to work as the abcess has been drained.
Do not worry,
You will be fine. Make sure to visit your dentist at regukar intervals to make sure if the infection has completely resolved.
I hope i answered your query
I wish you good health
Take care
