Answer
well, first, you have to return to the doctor.....  if the infection was TB, the pus has to be examined and cultured to find out exactly what the TB or other organism is and exactly what drugs it will take to kill the infection.  Sorry you have to go through all this but it will take more time to cure this problem.
