The doctor probably should have tested it the 2nd time just to be safe and to put them at ease. Better yet, why aren't we testing before handing out antibiotics? Surely everyone would be better off not taking antibiotics unnecessarily and maybe saving a life here and there?

Gotta be able to drain it to test it.
