Brief Answer:
pus is more and XXXXXXX yellow colour drain it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have studied your case.
If pus is more and XXXXXXX yellow colour you may need to drain it.
Start antibiotic regime and look for results.
You may need to investigate in form of complete blood count, ESR, CRP.
Clinical examination is very important in such case. If obvious sign of abscess are present like pain, redness, swelling, trobbing sensation then better to drain it surgically.
If you can send clinical photo of swelling then we can help you better.

Wishing you good health.
Take care.
