Respected user , Hi

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* Ideally you should seek advise of a consultant surgeon , but if
You are determined to make it drain naturally then

- turmeric paste application 3 times a day will help to recover faster .
- vicks will not help for the same .

Hope this clears your query .
Welcome for further guidance .

Regards .
