Answers:
Get some orajel, and try IBprofen. That's what I did when i had mine, trust me I know it's painful!! orajel makes your whole mouth feel funny, but it deff. takes the edge off the pain! good luck, feel better !
I know this is the most miserable pain to have. Try a half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water. Swish this around a few times a day especially after eating. Also oragel might help to numb it. If it gets to bad to bare you can go to the emergency room and they can get you some antibiotics and pain pills. Until you see the dentist tomorro. I really hope this helps. I've been there and done that.
It would have been helpful to include the location of the abscess. If it's dental, as most seem to have assumed, topical analgesics like Orajel or oil of cloves will help. If it's on your bum, there's not much past heat and the Tylenol/ibuprofen combination that you can do, though you may get better heat from a hot sitz bath. If it's a paronychia, you're being a wimp.
It may be time to give up, head for the hospital, and submit to the sharp pointy things.
