Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It is infected by the organisms.

In response to the infection it is drainig the pus.

It is very advance infection that is why it is draining.

I advice you to start your therapy with cefixime 200 mg three times a day, pantoprazole half hour before meal two times a day, and aceclofenac three times a day. Please take above medication under your doctors guidance.

Also start doing Grams staining, culture and sensitivity from the discharging pus. Once the report available taking the drugs as per the report will cure you effectively and rapidly.

Please do good dressing and cleaning over the wound by dettol and betadine. You can also apply polysporin ointment over the wound.

Hygiene is very important is such case as it can treat the infection as equally as antibiotics do.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
