The green stuff needs treating with antibiotics. If they don't seem to work, get it analysed to see if they can identify an effective one.

Brooke, I agree with Elephant and Jack. However, I suggest getting it cultured before starting antibiotics. Antibiotics are not benign drugs and just like with pred and our other drugs we have to consider the long-term effects of taking multiple types just to find the right one for an infection. Each time you take an antibiotic you're creating more superbugs in your body and making it less likely for that antibiotic to work again. And each time your body "sees" the drug, it's more likely to develop an allergy to it.
A culture will take 3 days. Unless your infection is growing much worse each day, it's best if you can wait for the results.
