Hello

I have studied your case.

There is possibility of infection ,so you need to keep close watch on pain ,fever,pus discharge.
Right now no need to panic,it can be just oozing.

Clinical examination is required to confirm that.
Ultrasonography can be done if clinically required.
Till time you can start medication and antibiotic. He may require IV antibiotic if not resolving.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Take care.
