Brief Answer:
start on antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I suggest you to consult a doctor and start on antibiotics like amoxicillin plus clavulinic acid combination and pain killer like aceclofenac plus serratiopeptidase combination.

Pain killer reduce inflammation and also the bruise. These are prescription drugs . Also after clinical examination it may be decided whether that white tip containing pus needs to be expressed out or it will reduce by antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.
