*KLAXON* tooth abscess - Sporners welcome!

About 4 years ago, an abscess formed above one of my front teeth. I went to the dentist and she said the tooth had died, popped the abscess and drained it and then I had a root canal. All good...

About a week ago I thought I was getting a spot on my lip by my nostril as it was really tender but as the days have gone on, I realise the abscess is back. I have a pea-sized pus-filled thing above the same tooth.

It has swelled in the last 48 hours and feels tight and is quite uncomfortable but it's blardy Jubilee weekend and I can't see a dentist until Weds at the earliest, I imagine.

What do I do? Will it burst on it's own? Should I help along? Oww
