Make a big fuss - and continue to do so (5,2)

I believe the answer is:

carry on

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'do so' is the definition.
'carry on' can be an answer for 'do' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'so' bit.

'make a big fuss and continue' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'make' could be 'carry' (carrying is a kind of making) and 'carry' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'o' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for carry on that I've seen before include "Improper behaviour" , "Display of fussing" , "Questionable behaviour" , "play around" , "Flirt" .)
