Hello,
Welcome to HCM
The history and symptoms suggests that you may be having the infection of the affected area but it should be examined to know the presence of the infection. As there is a discharge following the injury it is a protective mechanism of the body.
To confirm the presence of infection you rs acquires physical examination. If there is any infection you requires
1. Topical Antibiotic cream
2.Oral Antibiotics like Tab Augmentin, twice daily for 5 days
3.Oral Analgesics.
Thank you.
