HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, from the given history I could say that this could be infection (Septic ) would be very likely it can be well treated with antibiotic but along with this wound need to be cleaned and pus need to be drained and for that you have to take her to doctor, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
