Hi,

These symptoms are suggestive of viral or bacterial infection. The primary treatment of decongestant and anti-inflammatory with painkiller property remos the same. If WBC count is raised then prescription based antibiotic should also be given. Povidone iodine gargles. Sitz bath in a tub with warm water for hot fomentation of tailbone. Bed rest. Laxative to have soft stool to have reduced stress on tailbone while passing motion.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
