I m on antibiotics-Clindamycin HCL 300mg for Peritonsillar Abscess since last night. I m feeling better, abscess is smaller and changed colour from black/grey to white. An hour ago it started to ooze white puss. Spitting it out and rinsing with salty water. Should I be concerned or can I sleep in peace? Need to sleep. Thank you. IT IS FREE TO ASK QUESTION BUT PAY FOR AN ANSWER?? I HAVE NO MONEY!
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Oozing of pus from abscess indicates that the abscess is localized, pus has pointed, and it is getting Chat Doctor.  This is a good sign and nothing to worry about. You should continue with your antibiotic and local rinsing with salt water. You have told that you are feeling better, which itself suggest that the abscess is decreasing in size and severity. Be watchful for high fever, increasing pain or throbbing pain. In such case, consult your surgeon. Otherwise, carry on with the treatment. Hope this will be helpful. Take care.
