Hi
Thanks for posting your query
If the size of abcess is very small there are chances it will resolve with antibiotics
If the size is big it can be drained under ultrasound control, followed by antibiotic therapy
For high PT he may be given Vit K injections
Hope this helps
Am available for any followup queries
