Septic Olecranon Bursitis on POCUS

A patient presents with fever to 102F and pain over her olecranon region. An ultrasound over this area is shown. What is the best choice for management?
Resolution: Intravenous antibiotics is first line management for this septic bursitis. If this were not over a bursa, the best management would be incision and drainage.
