Actually, an abscess is a tricky thing. Most dentists and doctors won't do anything about it if you go to a hospital. Abscess can take up to three weeks on average to go down, however, you can easily speed this up by gargling with salt and water or if its extremely painful, gargle with saltwater, rinse, and place a crushed Tylenol tablet on the abscess. It's not the greatest tasting but it will help the pain a lot more than swallowing the pill, oh and try not to drink anything except water until it subsides.
