Hello,
thanks for using health care magic
Yellow discharges or purulent discharges are synonymous to an abscess and all abscesses have to be incised and drained abundantly.
You need to drain the abscess abundantly by extensive pressure on it so as to get the pus completely out and clean with your iodine.
Antibiotics like your amoxicillin may help but the main treatment is extensive drainage.
Best regards
Dr Achuo
