A member asked:
My 8month daughter got abscess operation post vaccination last week..while during her fifth dressing...some pus is seen in the wound. is it natural ?

On antibiotics?: New pus in a treated abscess is not good. If the pus has been there and it is decreasing in amount then that suggests that it's getting better, but new pus or expanding erythema (redness) in a previously debrided/cleaned wound needs to be assessed asap.
