Hi, i did review your concern.
The puss can be due to infection or periorbital cellulitis of his eye and it requires immediate consultation of your treating ophthalmologist. If there is puss then it needs to be examined by doing culture and microscopy and the lens if infected needs to be removed and antibiotics started.
I hope this helps
Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.
