Hi If it is on the outside of the gum, and visible, it can be relieved by swilling warm salted water round the mouth, then pricked with a sterile needle to release the Pus and fluid. Squeeze gently until all pus is removed, then swill mouth again with salty water. Abcesses are usually the result of an infection in the root of the tooth, and if not treated will re-occur. A common anti-biotic - tetracycline or penicillin based generic treatment should also be taken and a dentists consulted as soon as practicable!
