Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

To know the underlying cause you can do pus culture sensitivity and biopsy testing to come to conclusion.Try using steroids as alternative if there is no ongoing bacterial infection as antibiotics are not useful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
