Root canal and now SEVERE pain - please help...

I formed a large abscess in my cheeck after a root canal. It's quite painful and I am taking percocet and ibuprofen 800 to minimize the pain. I am also on antibiotics. Is there a way to manually drain the abscess?

Go back to the the person who did the root canal, they can do a retreat and drain everything for you.
