Hi, You are probably having surgical site infection. You need to consult your surgeon for examination & management of the wound. If there is pus inside, it must be Chat Doctor.  Start taking tablet co-amoxiclave 625 mg one tablet thrice daily for 5 days. Cortisone won't help in this case. I hope, my answer helps you.
