Hello

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the multiple abscess could be a multiple peridontal abscess it could be because of poor maintenance of the gums or it could be secondary to diabetes. consult a oral physician and get the radiograph done like OPG and blood investigation to rule out diabetes. if i an your treating doctor i would have put yu on penicillins, metronidazole combination. get your teeth cleaned and if there is a tooth infection it has to be treated. get the RBS AND FBS done. if its high then consult a general physician also. do saline gargling3-4times. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
