That's great you've been seen by someone and wonderful you are on antibiotics! At least if it is an infection, they will get rid of it.
If it is an abcess, or fistula, antibiotics will not help. Possibly in the next few days you will find out more, as if it's just an infection, the antibiotics will clear it up. If it is still leaking and there is a smell, it's a possible abcess/fistula.
If it was me I would wait a couple of days and see your CRS if you are still having discharge.
If you just saw someone "general", ie not a CRS, then they don't really know what they are looking for. I told my gp I had a fistula, first she said "what do you want me to do about it", then she examined me and said there was nothing there. It was there, and my crs confirmed it a while later.
Let's just hope it's a simple infection and the antibiotics clear it up.
Keep us posted!
