Hello,
From the available description, it appears that the best course of treatment for any abscess need to be followed which is D & C.
I understand that antibiotics are useful for breast abscess but in select cases, they are not sufficient for the treatment of the problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
