Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concern. You are suffering from gum abscess and you are taking amoxicillin but you are not taking drug to reduce swelling(antiinflammatory). So I advice you to add it (like Biozobid or sigmoflam). Its good to use antiseptic mouthwash oraldene- continue with it. Also continue Amoxicillin for 4 more days. You will be cured.
