Abcess on Gum??

I got my wisdom teeth pulled out a few months ago. I have an abcess on my gum. How would I treat that? I know you have to take antibiotics but I dont know if I can.

U can use clove oil on the abcess to help clean it. Put the clove on a q-tip and hold it to the abcess for about 30 sec. and try not to swallow it. It will clean/disinfect it as well as helping it to go away faster.

Warm salty water every hour or so helped to clear mine...just moving it around in my mouth for 30seconds...but remember that is poison 'm there...so I would at least call the doctor and see what you can take.
