Hello,
Thanks for the query
Pus confirms that you have developed a bacterial infection.
Take a course of antibiotics.
Its better to choose antibiotic after culture and sensitivity test.
Apply an antibacterial cream like mupirocine.
Hot fomentation is also good,
It helps in accumulation of pus, which can be drained later.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
