Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms suggests me that you may be having infection of the wound, which was operated to drain the cyst present below the left ear.

As there is a pus draining from the wound it suggest that wound is infected for which your doctor has prescribed an antibiotic cream to apply over the wound.

For your condition I would suggest you to take Tab Augmentin, twice daily for five days, this will help to reduce the infection from the suture site and improve your condition. You need to apply Oint Metrogyl over the wound which will dry up the wound.
Thank you.
