What Is The Abscess Behind My Wisdom Teeth?

I was punched in the jaw 4 days ago the swelling has gone down a lot but I still have what feels like an abscess behind my wisdom tooth that is preventing me from biting down all the way without biting into it. Should I seek treatment or will this just take time and rest?

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion it will go with time eventually but the add of NSAIDs non steroidal anti inflammatorry drugs will help in the pain and the swelling , avoid eating hard food on this side , topical gel with little massaging will be helpful if not i suggest Xrays , CT to exclude any minor fissures .
