Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
I appreciate your concern. Greenish discharge infact indicate infected wound. So, If she has been given oral and local antibiotics for treatment it may subside with that only. But she needs to take care of her sugar levels, if not under control infection will spread. If it does not subside/decrease in 2 days visit your doctor. All the best.
