So far, no treatment except the antibiotics. Mine starts below the lower jaw and emerges in the upper throat. Actually, nothing was showing on the outside until the abscess developed and my PCP lanced it with her trusty scalpel. Everybody said it smelled terrible so sometimes not being able to smell is a good thing.

It's still suppurating small amounts of pus, plus there is a clear or blood-tinged fluid coming out, in addition to the tissue granulation, so I don't see it healing anytime soon. Actually, that's better because I can observe it from the outside, whereas looking in my throat would be very difficult.
