Hello there. I can understand your concern.  For the abscess the trewtmwnt is just incision and drainage along with antibiotics cover. Nothing else is required. Consult a ENT specialist in person for further evaluation and management. He will be able to help you further. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
