Appendicular abscess is a definite indication for drainage procedure. Medical treatment is only supportive. Depending on how much damage has been caused inside (inflammation / adhesions), an appendectomy may be carried out concurrently or at a later date (around 6-8 weeks) later, when the inflammation has significantly reduced. With a confirmed abscess it doesn't make sense to keep waiting for another attack of appendicitis, which may increase damage inside to the intestines. Please see a pediatric surgeon at the earliest and get the matters sorted out.
