I have a hypoechoic tract that's 3.5 cm long and 6mm thick with two external openings besides the surgical one. Can antibiotics alone cure this or do I need other treatment options?

A 3.5‚ÄØcm hypoechoic tract with two openings likely requires surgical or laser treatment;antibiotics alone are unlikely to close the fistula.
