Hi,
If there is formation of abscess with cellulitis and swelling then there are chances of resolving the abscess with use of medicines you are using.
If pus is already formed, it is to be excised and pus should be drained.
Continue with same medicines for 2-3 days, induration and swelling might subside.
For pain take NSAID like Ibuprofen or Diclophenac with paracetamol medicine as needed.
Ok and take care.
