Suggest Treatment For Pus Filled Bumps And Swelling On Legs
My 89 year old mother in law has swelling in her legs. Now I noticed she has clear pus coming from her lower leg. She had cellulitis a few months ago and was given antibiotics. It is on the same leg but in a different spot. She has been tired but otherwise no unusual complaints.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Based on the history and the symptoms described, she may have a repeat of the cellulitis.
Fatigue would accompany an infection.
She should be reassessed by her doctor to determine if this is the case. It it is confirmed then antibiotics are needed.
I hope this helps
