Pus coming out of umbilicus with associated swelling I would consider the possibility of infected Urachal or Vitello-intestinal cyst. Getting ultrasound will demonstrate the abnormality.
I suggest you to consult your Surgeon. It will require Surgical Management'---- Drainage of pus, Antibiotics and once the infection has settled down surgical removal has to be done.
I hope it helped
In case you require any further assistance,will be glad to assist you.
Take care
