Hi,
That draining yellow fluid is infectious fluid coming out and redness and swelling is due to inflammation due to bite. Don't worry it is in healing process. Apply good antiseptic cream like povidone at site of bite. Take anti-inflammatory tablet Aceclofenac and antibiotic like Amoxicillin for 5 days. Since these are prescriptions i suggest you to work with your primary care doctor to achieve these.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
