Suggest Remedy For A Pus Which Has Accumulated In The Chest

My father had a open heart surgery a few weeks ago and he has a pus accumulation in the middle of his chest. This is along the area which was cut open for the surgery. He now has developed high fever overnight and also has some body pains. What has to be done now?

Hi,
If your father is in the hospital you shouldn't worry , doctors will take care.
If he is at home, I would advise you to immediately refer to a hospital. The condition requires treatment with antibiotics and local medications on the chest area.
