Hi
It could be an abscess deeply seated. Please consult a general surgeon where incision and drainage can be done. If pus is there, culture will be sent from the wound and be treated accordingly with appropriate antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
