Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
The reason why you are having pus oozing out of the wound is due to infection over the bite site and due to application of wrong medication.
Kindly wash the area with antiseptic solution like Iodine or Savlon. After drying, cover the wound by applying a thin layer of Soframycin ointment. This daily dressing needs to be done till the wound dries. Keep the wound open and do not cover it with bandage.
Take a course of antibiotic Tablet containing Amoxacillin with Clavulenic acid. Along with it, you need to take antiinflammatory-analgesic Tablet Ibuprofen twice daily after food.
Gradually, your wound would heal with the formation of healthy granulation tissue.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
