An abscess is an infected thing - could be anything. It's just a bunch of pus and blood all collected up, irritating everything around it. So yes, if it is punctured (deliberately or otherwise) you'll leak blood and pus into your mouth and down your throat.
Lovely image to go to bed with tonight, isn't it?
omg I'm scared I'm gonna die in my sleep now.
Meh, I've felt worse tonsils.Quote:

Go buy a box of popsicles and relax.
When they lance it they get most of that out without it going down your throat.Quote:

The abscess is incredibly painful and the process of lancing is even more painful. Hell even the part before the lance where they numb the area with novacaine injections is quite painful. And this is coming from someone with a high tolerance to pain.Quote:
