Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have abscessed tooth dont worry for this you should consult dentist and go for investigations if it isPeriapical abscess then go for Root canal treatment of possible .

Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.

You should take antibiotic course of one tablet Amoxiclave twice daily for one week

One tablet metronidazole twice daily for one week .

One Capsule vitamin B complex once daily for 7 days

Consult dentist and go for treatment.

Hope this will help you.
