Brief Answer:
needs drainage

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

abscesses need drainage. Without drainage there is no chance for recovery. If the abscess had been there for long then perhaps the surgeon should also destroy the septa that will have surely formed. Antibiotics are not effective inside an abscess.

Kind Regards!
