I had a knee replacement surgery a month ago and the wound has healed but there's still a little yellow pus coming from one spot I took linid 600 and duonem 200 for 6 days last week but the pus hasn't stopped completely should I keep taking the antibiotics and is it okay to cover that area with a gauze pad
