Prescribed Antibiotics And Painkillers For Abscess Under Armpit. Started Draining Pus, What To Do?
I went to the walk-in Wednesday for what I found out was called an abscess under my armpit. They said it was too hard (to the touch) to just drain so I was prescribed antiobiotics and painkillers. Today on the 4th day of antibiotics it bursted a bit and has been slowly emitting pus for a bit over an hour. What should I do?
