Hi..
Can understand your concern..
I have gone through your question and can very well understand your
anxiety and
stress.
As per the entire explanation of treatment that was given to you the milky fluid drained out from the incision site is Pus which is the exudate released after infection.
The swelling and discomfort that have occurred must be because of inflammation and infection caused at the side of surgery and can be seen in many cases of surgery where secondary infection takes place.
Although you are on antibiotics and
steroids leading to relieve in the symptoms and swelling reduced but it take time for pus and infection to wean off and it can not disappear suddenly..
As there must be some infection remaining and the pus present in the site of surgery got a path to get drained it started oozing out from incision site. The more it gets drained out the faster will be the healing as the pus contains bacteria and infection.
I would suggest you that in case
oral antibiotics are showing slow relief and healing you can also take injectable antibiotics and intravenous infusions if needed and can be solely decided by the surgeon who knows your entire case.
But as the swelling and pain is subsiding you can relax and follow the treatment protocols and soon you will get completely relieved.
Hope your query is solved..
