Stomach Sore, Discharge, Green Sticky Liquid. Taking Erythromicin. Gall Bladder Surgery Done. Treatment?

I had Gall bladder surgery 6 weeks ago by laporoscopy. Last Thursday, I felt my tummy was sore around my belly button. Next morning it was seeping. Went to the Practice Nurse at my GP and she took a swab, gave me some dressings and some Erythromicin to treat the infection. It has been seeping for 5 days with greenish sticky liquid. I sit a cause for concern?

this is some sort of wound infection which can be treated with some good antibiotics like cifixime or something . if it still persists then culture can be done for the discharge so that appropriate antibiotics can be given

hope this helps
