Because the lining of an abscess cavity tends to interfere with the amount of drug that can penetrate the source of infection from the blood, the cavity itself may require draining
An abscess needs to be drained to remove the pus buildup, which can be a collection of bacteria and dead tissue. If left untreated, the abscess can continue to grow, causing increased pain, inflammation, and potential spread of infection to surrounding tissues or even into the bloodstream. Draining the abscess helps to promote healing and prevent further complications.

Yes, if you have a small cavity, it will typically need to be drilled by a dentist in order to remove the decayed part of the tooth and prevent further damage. After drilling, a filling will be placed to restore the tooth's structure.
In women, the reproductive organs are located within the abdominal cavity and pelvis. In men, they are located externally, outside of the abdominal cavity (due to the need for sperm to be maintained at a lower temperature than is present inside the body).
The diaphragm physically separates the thoracic cavity (which includes the heart and lungs) from the abdominopelvic cavity (which includes the digestive organs and reproductive organs). This anatomical division helps protect the organs in each cavity and allows for independent movements during breathing and digestion.

antibiotic induced swelling....'oma' = tumour (swelling) eg: breast when an abscess occur in the breast and antibiotic was given, without even draining the abscess, the abscess cavity next will become fibrous and it result in firm to large lump in the breast. this hard lump can be confused for malignancy. to teat this... excision need to be done...
An infected skin nodule that contains pus may need to be drained via a cut if it does not respond to antibiotics. This allows the pus to escape, and the infection to heal.
This can be a minor or a major undertaking. The procedure is called an incision and drainage, and involves making an incision (cut) in the skin overlying the fluid collection and draining the fluid from the abscess. All areas of infection must be removed to cure the infection. If the leftover cavity is large enough, it may need to be packed to prevent re-accumulation of infection and allow the cavity to heal from the inside out.
Go to an ER or dentist. Do NOT try to do it yourself. You could penetrate the sinus cavity and cause a worse infection or need sinus surgery.
yes. not a tooth abscess, but a gum abscess. These need to be treated with antibiotics.
Yes
I do believe that you need to see a dentist and not an orthodontist regarding a tooth abscess. If anything, the dentist would treat it or if need be, refer you to a specialist.
Bacteria is the cause of an abscess on the roof of your mouth. Contact your family doctor or dentist to find the treatment care you need.

About 95% of lung abscess patients can be treated successfully with antibiotics alone. Patients who need surgical treatment have a mortality rate of 10-15%.
Abscesses need to be burst in order to heal. However, what will come out of your abscess is bacteria, so you should consult your doctor about an antibiotic such as Doxycycline. At the very least, make sure to clean the area thoroughly and to wash your hands before and after dealing with the area. The bacteria can spread to other skin cells, so try to collect the draining before it drips to other areas. Wear gauze over the area because an abscess is likely to keep draining for some time (possibly days) after, and you don't want the bacteria spreading.
