In appropriately treated uncomplicated peritonsillar abscess, a 90-95% success rate is reported with a 10-15% recurrence rate. It's important you keep your mouth as clean as possible. Bacteria formation is what causes this problem. It's probably going to take a few weeks before you feel better.
Talk with your oral surgeon about how to prevent this from happening again.

follow up with the doctor who did the procedure. write down all of your questions and be sure that you receive the answers before you leave the office.
