Pus causes the abscess - So if the abscess has propagated it needs to be drained by a dentist as soon possible. Antibiotics alone will not cure an abscess.

You need to ring your dentist and request an emergency appointment. Failing that talk to your doctor about the pain/swelling they may get you into an emergency appointment with any NHS dentist.
