Symptoms of abscess are pain, inflammation, redness, watery discharge as well pus dishcarge when infected. The treatment will be decided based on the site where it is? And treatment will be use of antibiotics, drainage and surgical.
Also you have to send the abscess discharge and tissue for lab study to rule out the growth of cancerous cells. And which antibiotic will be more useful to deal with it, based on the infection.
