You first took Cefpod (Cefpodoxime) and Chymoral, and later a physician physically drained the pus from your periumbilical region and extended your antibiotics. Since a doctor examined you in person and confirmed it looks like a local skin infection, you can feel reassured that it is highly treatable. The sharp pain you felt earlier was likely caused by the pressure of the trapped pus, which should start easing up now that it has been drained. Your physician advised getting a scan if the area does not settle down completely. This is a very standard and safe precaution; a simple ultrasound scan checks to make sure the infection is strictly on the surface of the skin and rules out any deep, hidden developmental tracks under the belly button (such as a patent urachus or an umbilical sinus) that might require specialized closure.

To closely review how your belly button is healing after the physical pus drainage, evaluate your current antibiotic response, and guide you on an affordable, local imaging scan if needed, please book a full consultation session via my Practo profile."
