Hello there i am dr.milan infecrious disease specialist answering your query.

You need to go for certain investigation of abscess.
Like culture for pyogenic organism and culture for tuberculous and non-tuberculus organism.
While going for culture take specimen when you are not on antibiotic atleast for 3-5 days. And if you are taking antibiotic countinious than you have to repeat the culture examination if it comes negative.
So first thing is to go for culture examination and plz tell us the site from where is coming. And is it off and on type, do you have any operative procedure before this, is it associated with any other symptoms?
You need to see an infectious disease specialist along with this history and investigation.
Feel free to ask more about your problem.
