<s>[INST] I am a 20yr old female who has had severe pain, chills, fever,aches for the past 4 days. The pain is originating from the top and bottom of the left side of my mouth. I thought my wisdom teeth were coming in but found out the white stuff was an infection. My whole left side of my face is swollen and my lymph node and right above it are severely swollen. I went to urgent care and was told that I most likely have an absess right above my lymph node(feels like 2 big lumps). I got pain medication and it is not helping the pain at all. If the absess needs drained, how will they do it? [/INST] Hi. If the abscess needs to be drained it is normally done from inside mouth to avoid scar on face. You need additional antibiotics or change of it along with supportive treatment. </s>
