An abscess can form within a few days to a week depending on the severity of the infection. It typically starts as a localized area of swelling and inflammation that can progress to the formation of pus within a relatively short period of time.

How long does it take for abscess swelling to go down?

Actually, an abscess is a tricky thing. Most dentists and doctors won't do anything about it if you go to a hospital. Abscess can take up to three weeks on average to go down, however, you can easily speed this up by gargling with salt and water or if its extremely painful, gargle with saltwater, rinse, and place a crushed Tylenol tablet on the abscess. It's not the greatest tasting but it will help the pain a lot more than swallowing the pill, oh and try not to drink anything except water until it subsides.
