l have an abscess in my throat and it is very painful doctor has given a antibiotic, but l am going on holiday in 3 days would having it drained help it get better quicker?

keep taking the full course of antibiotics that such be fine

Speak to your doctor, do not take medical advice from strangers on the net.

Antibiotics take 24 to 48 hours to start working, hence that is when you will start feeling better. In addition to the antibx, try warm salt water gargles, bacteria do not like that. Make sure you finish your meds or the infection could come back even worse.
Hope you are able to enjoy your holiday.

Not to frighten you ,but l had this throat abscess and it turned into phnemonia spent five days in hospital do not take any chances antibiotic did not work go back to your doctor insist he sends you to the ear nose and throat hospital,also your holiday will not be covered if you have not informed your travel insurance. hope you get better
