What Causes Swelling In Legs With Pus Formation?

My 10 yrs son gets reoccurring periods of swollen legs with puss. I don t know if this has something to do with lymph nodes or allergies. The legs are hot, tender, swollen and red. Last time we spent a week in hospital and now 4 months later the symptoms have returned.
