Question

I noticed a big pus-filled bump on my dad's back and when I pressed it, most of the pus came out. I've cleaned it with Savlon and dressed it with Betadine. I started giving him Augmentin 650 yesterday. Could you advise me on what else I should do or if there's something more I should be concerned about?
