That doesn’t seems to be pus it is keratosis caused by self induced injury due to constant biting or chewing his Lower lip may be due to anaesthesia he don’t know he was biting so it might happened at that time so no need to worry it happens during healing.

Due to anesthesia, children feel numbness in lip and thus bite their lip.
This looks like the same.
Do visit local Pedodontist for treatment and physical evaluation.
