7 Month Old Has Pus Jewel Around Anus, Tried Various Creams No Help, Constipated. Solution ?

Hello,

My 7 month old son has pus jewel around his anus. I have taken him to his pediatrician twice now. First time he gave us a ointment to try. Second time which was like one or so week ago, we got Oral Antibiotic named SMZ-TMP 200-40/5. So we gave it to him for few days the pus jewel was gone. So we stopped the antibiotic and today we noticed the pus jewel was back. I am not totally sure if why it keeps coming back. This pus jewel seems to be related to him constipated?? We have avoided carrots and such. We are mixing prunes/peaches with most of his food so he does not get constipated. It seems like his poop is really hard lot of times.
