Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the abscess is concerned, it can be secondary to tooth infection. Nothing to be panic. You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). To relieve the severe pain, you can take tablet ketorol dispersible tablet. Dissolve the tablet in water and drink it. Pain will come down in 10 minutes. Consult a oral physician and get the tooth treated as early as possible. I hope my answer will help you. Take care
