Hi,
Please explain what the drain means to you. The drain in the terms of medical science is removing pus from the affected site and do you have any X-ray of affected site. If not, get the X-ray done apply ice pack and if it's really infected and and you are going to have your pus removed. It's absolutely non-painful because anesthesia is definitely given before removing the pus.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
