Hi,

As per your history, pus is oozing out from that site, so its infected wound. I would suggest you do complete haemogram, pus culture and sensitivity, MRI of that site to know the severity of the infection.

You can start antibiotics like cefuroxime immediately after consultation. Do regular dressing on alternate day. Antibiotic course may change after getting culture report. You can take tab. paracetamol for pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
