Hi lybrate-user, abscess is a fluctuating pus filled infected swelling kind of thing. In that case it would be painful, even you may have a fever. Without any image or without examining it is hard to tell what actually is bothering you. But as it is persisting for more than one month, I would highly recommend you to consult a doctor nearby, oral surgeon preferably. Until then, maintain oral hygiene by avoiding any irritant like tobacco, use mouthwash regularly.
