Hi,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query,
Formation of pus is suggestive of severe infection,And our body fighter cells losing against bacteria's(lay man).
The inflammatory cells that participate in the body's immune response at the site of an infection eventually degrade and die, creating the substance known as pus. One of the most common types of bacteria that cause pus formation is Staphylococcus aureus,Pus formation any where in body will cause chills with fever.
Initially i would suggest you to go for a swab culture and sensitivity of the site from where pus is exudating.
Blood routine and microscopy.
\Urine routine and microscopy.
Tablets to be taken.
Tab cefixime twice daily.
Tab diclofenac sr once daily.
Tab paracetamol 650 thrice for fever.
Tab fexofenadine 180mg once daily
Eye drop moxifloxacin 2 drops twice. The antibiotics need a prescription, so please contact your doctor and request a prescription.
Depending on nature of cough dry or wet cough syrup can be added.

In case the swab shows staphylococcus infection. Antibiotics like feropenem will be administered orally.
