Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
glandular fever is associated with fever,sore throat swelling of cervical lymph node redness of eye etc. but pus on gland rarely develop so If these all symptom are not here you dont need to think about it .
you need to undergo culture and sensitivity test of your PUS to find out bacterial infection .As pus is there so it indicate infection is there so you can take antibiotic but after culture and sensitivity report you have to change antibiotic according to report .
If it is a viral infection it will recover spontaneously after completion of viral cycle.you should maintain good nutrition and hygenic condition and take treatment for your symptom.
if compliant aggravate contact to health care setting.
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
