Hi @hirachohan and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds like you and your mom are going through a horrible ordeal with infection, possibly MRSA. I'm bringing fellow members @heaven4me8 @nicoleb21809 @gibbler and @lynzze into this discussion as they too have had issues with hip replacement and infection.

Hirachohan, has the oozing become less over the past 4 days? Did your mom see the doctor again?

I'd seriously love to hear from these people their stories. Both me and my mom are so helpless, stressed and mentally disturbed for as long as she met an accident our lives have gone upside down.
As for the oozing, its still there as day 1. I got in touch with her doctor he said he wants to avoid surgery. He asked to get the puss cultured and give another go to the antibiotics that come sensitive to the bacteria. Meanwhile i have to dress her wound 3 times day sometimes 4. Can it be that the bone is infected which keeps getting these wounds coming? Attaching an Xray of a sight of implat removal.
