General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read the history.
I would advise you to insist on CT scan or at least an ultrasonography.

It is true that the drained abscess is not going to get alright overnight. It will take a few weeks and so getting this feeling of heaviness is not much to bother about unless you have the following signs:
Fever
Chills
Distension of abdomen
Constipation or loose motions
Vomiting and so on.

Continue the antibiotics meticulously and report back if any of the symptom as mentioned develop.
