It's quite normal for pus to keep forming even after a month in case of TB spine with Psoas abscess. So you need not worry. Moreover it's not necessary to always drain your pus. Drainage is required only if quantity is more and causing pressure (once or twice). If pus formation is extensive then a drain can be put for few days. With treatment, slowly pus gets absorbed.
