Poor Hubcap, at this stage at may be neccessary to perform further tests such as culture of the discharge, endoscopy or MRI to identify exactly where the infection is coming from and why it is not resolving completely with medication. Foreign bodies such as grass seeds and tumors or cysts can all cause ongoing infection/discharge which recurs despite appropriate antibiotic treatment. Schedule a recheck and consider referral to a specialist if required
