There isn't really anything else you can do. She does need to see a dentist though so I would probably consider paying for her to see a dentist. If it is on a first tooth then it could be removed because the condition of the baby teeth effect the adult teeth. If she has developed a lump the abscess hasn't gone, the dentist needs to either clear the infection of remove the tooth.

Abscesses don't go with antibiotics they need a dentist to work on it to clear it.

All the best to you and your daughter
