What is the white stuff coming out of my incision and am I healing okay? (Photos)

Emma l
Hello I had a tummy tuck in prague nearly 4 weeks ago , I came home to England after 10 days , I started to feeling more pain and redness and hot around the middle of my incision so I went to my doctors who said I had an infection and prescribed my antiboctics. I have been cleaning my wound with salted water and new dressing each day . It seems to be getting better but still leaking green stuff and I've noticed white stuff in my wound . please can you tell me if this is ok ?
