Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
If there is pus filled lesions, they have to be drained as it will help to improve healing.
If the lesions are not showing improvement with antibiotic, I advise you to give the pus swab for culture and sensitivity so that the report will identify the causative organism and aid in choosing the appropriate antibioitic.
Consult the physician for reassessment of wounds and for further management.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
