Hii,
Welcome to HCm ,
I will advise you to take your fiance to the Emergency room for the removal of staples and drainage of pus followed by proper cleaning of the wound.
He also needs to be put on antibiotics to prevent further spread of infection, according to the local Hospital Protocol.
Regards,
Dr. Vivek
