After a client who had an incision and drainage of an oral
abscess has been discharged, a clinical finding that should be of concern and
should prompt the client to report to the healthcare provider is if there is pain
with swelling after one week; a painful swelling filled with pus may indicate
the recurrent oral abscess.
