Hi and thanks for the query,

She will need to consult a doctor. Formation of pus after using the antibiotics you gave means the treatment was not very appropriate. Your doctor shall need to evaluate the child again, get the pockets of pus drained, and prescribe appropriate antibiotics. Drugs through injections or through the oral route would be most appropriate in this case. The abdominal needs careful and urgent evaluation, considering her age and clinical environment (infection/pus).

I think taking her to an emergency service is a brilliant idea. Administration of Anti tetanus serum should be administered for the state of the agent that caused the wound could be a threat. Thanks and kind regards.
