It is how many days since you have been using the tablets and ointment. For an abscess if the tablets had to work, they should have shown results by now, at least your pain should have gone completely.
Now please continue with the tablets, (antibodies and painkillers) , you can suspend use of ointment. You should consult with your Gynaecologist again after your periods, if you really need treatment for your abscess.
