Hi,
It seems that there is some bacterial infection producing pain and pus discharge.
You might require one oral antibiotic medicine like amoxicilin or levofloxacilin course for 5 days.
It is advisable to do dressing by your treating doctor only for proper cleaning, removing pus and then dressing.
Ok and take care.
