Nidge, this could be urgent m8. The infection may get into the bone....which you really don't want. If you turn up at a dentist looking like you say you look, you will be seen....
Alternatively, go to casualty....asap

The area around the tooth has gone down it's just the bit under the right side of my chin thats worrying me, it's soft and not hard, I'm thinking it could be a bit of the abscess because the abscess was on the bottom jaw.

On Monday when I went to the doctors it looked like I'd got a golfball in my mouth, I'm wondering if it's stretched the skin a little.

Thats probably a good sign....nasty infection/abscess should be tender/painful....
Blocked parotid/submandibular gland?

The pus can escape but you should have tasted it if it has? that can mean the infection has not gone and the relief is only temporary. As Ramrod says it can eat into your bone but thats still not the worst of it

Don't wait too long Nidge....

The question you have to ask yourself is are you comfortable waiting for three weeks for something which could cause you more problems in the long run than just getting it looked at properly now?

How many days of antibiotics were you given?

It may be until the course is completed you will not know for sure what it is. However if you cannot bear to see any other dentist you must have a very high pain threshold as for most people the abscess pain alone would drive them to see the first available dentist.

Even a visit to your Doctor would be worth it just to be sure there is no further complications.

I was referring to the original abscess for the pain part the new lump pain could be being masked by the antibiotics.
