Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As you mentioned you have problem of abcess in mouth that may be because of dental infection or trauma or other reasons.

Consult a dentist for oral examination and treatment.
X ray of affected tooth give exact idea about problems.
Drainage of abcess give more relief.
If abcess present because of dental infection than root canal treatment helpful..
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..

I hope this will help you.
Get well soon..
Thank you.
