[|AI|]  HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for posting your query in Chat Doctor. I understand your concerns. Pus formation in the wound signifies that it is not yet in the healing condition. The wound appears to be deep. So it needs thorough Chat Doctor. Taking antibiotics for 12 days and presence of pus still signifies that your son has developed resistance to the antibiotic. So I would advise you to do culture and sensitivity of the pus and to take appropriate antibiotics depending on the organism present in the pus. Thank you
