Huge cyst in jaw from abscess tooth
Had abscessed tooth so bad my face swelled up at its worst, took leftover Amoxicillin and swelling went down and the abscess near the decayed tooth (on the gum next to it) started to drain, for days till bump got smaller, then till it was basically gone. Unfortunately, I had thought i had enough amoxicillin for a wk but didn't ran out 4 days in, and never got tooth pulled. Not long after noticed my glands swollen in neck/throat, got slowly worse and now is huge cyst in jaw area

You have done 2 major mistakes---- taking self medications especially in case of dental infections where medications do not ever cure a problem without any objective treatment, and secondly, not going for the treatment in time which has caused the symptoms to aggravate to this level.
You should visit a dentist, preferably an oral surgeon, as soon as possible for appropriate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Regards.
