Hello,
Antibiotics have to be started at the earliest, but as she is pregnant she cannot use most of the antibiotics.
Consult a general surgeon and start on antibiotics preferably amoxicillin. The pus and debris have to be removed thoroughly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
