Antibiotics are effective for many infections, but in an abscess, the body has walled off the infection. Normally you need the assistance of a health care provider to clear up the infection. If your health care provider can't get you in soon (a dentist if the abscess is in your mouth, or a primary care provider if elsewhere), use warm compresses four times a day and see if you can find an urgent care center to help you with the abscess.
