Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
Ideally cyst should be completely removed for cure but some times it is difficult to remove it completely .
Pus in the cyst indicate secondary bacterial infection but still you dont need to worry as pus has been drained from the cyst .
Next thing is to follow culture and sensitivity report of drained pus to know the infecting organism and its antibiotic sensitivity .
complete treatment of infection according to sensitivity report will help in fasten complete recovery of your mother .
after cure from infection lesion will be heal by immune process of body .
But always remember that if part of cyst if left inside body there may be chances of recurrence so be cautious in future and would seek medical attention when required .
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
