Detailed Answer:
Hi
Peri anal abscess is a very painful condition.
Once the pus is collected, it has to be drained.
Antibiotics will not work at this stage.
Please consult a General surgeon and proceed further.
Pain will come down immediately once the pus is drained.Antibiotics should be continued after surgery.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Regards
