It feels like I'm going to die

The more stuff I google about my tooth abscess, the more anxiety it gives me. Basically do your own research on it and you’ll know why it bothers me so much even though it doesn’t hurt that much.

We’re poor people, we can’t afford to go to a doctor or a dentist or whatever the heck.
Aside from that when I try to explain to my dad how severe it is, he doesn’t believe me because “he’s had plenty of abscesses before and they all bursted on their own and he didn’t die.”

It says that if I don’t get it treated, it’ll infect my jaw, my brain, my throat, my windpipes, my face will swell, it’ll hurt, I won’t be able to breathe, I’ll get sepsis and I’ll probably fucking die.

But I won’t be able to get it treated because we don’t have the money for it. Apparently it only costs up to $800 or so where I live but I don’t even know if we have that much, even if my dad HAS been going to work lately.
But he won’t even do that until I’m actually showing signs of this shit.

“But you can get antibiotics” Again, my dad doesn’t take this seriously at all, so. He won’t get me any.

Yes, they can pop on their own at home, and rinsing your mouth with warm water or warm saltwater helps drain the abscess. But it doesn’t fully solve the problem and the infection will most likely remain and continue to spread.

Wish me luck.

(TL;DR I have a severe problem nobody will help me with)

Could this all be bullshit? I got this from Google, so yeah, probably.

But it still isn’t nice that I’m genuinely scared for my life and my dad won’t even take me seriously.
