It's a cellulitis...which is a deeper infection. Ideally it is better to do a cultur poe sensitivity of the pus and starting specific antibiotics. Your doctor would have already started you on antibiotics. If it reduces, well and good. If not your doctor will do culture sensitivity test. Kindly review with your doctor.
