Suggest Remedy For Persistent Abscess In The Area Of Nipple Piercing

Hi, I visited my doctor the other day for a nipple piercing abscess he took a culture sample for the pus exiting the piercing and instructed me to remove the jewelry and let it drain. Since the jewelry has been removed the openings no longer drain. What should I do? The abcess is still present and no longer draining
