hi.
noted history of liver abscess. yes, i would agree with the current management of your doctor. conservative management is done when the abscess size is not too large and drainage thru a percutaneous or open technique is not yet warranted. usually, a repeat ultrasound will be done after completion of antibiotic treatment, to confirm if the abscess has resolved. along with this, your symptoms will also improve. a regular follow-up with your doctor is also recommended.
hope this helps.
good day!!
