Suggest Treatment For A Abscess In The Armpit

I have an abcess in my armpit. the doctor put me on antibiotics but that didn t do anything so I went back yesterday and he drained it. a lot of pus came out but there is still a big bump there. It is not as painful but I am worried because the bump is still there

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the lymph node abscess then infected lymph node need to be removed and this can be some time removed under local or general anesthesia but it very important to drain it properly, hope this helps, and have a nice day.
