My pilonidal sinus burst and drained a lot of white pus and blood. Should I still get surgery or can I just take pimple healing meds and antibiotics?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While antibiotics might help with the infection after a pilonidal sinus burst, surgery is likely still needed, especially if the sinus is chronic or keeps recurring. Antibiotics alone won't fully address the underlying issue of the sinus and the need for complete removal. See a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options, including potential surgery or incision and drainage, to prevent recurrence and further complications

I was recently diagnosed with an intersphincteric fistula tract and have surgery scheduled for next Friday. I'm a bit nervous and wondering what type of anesthesia is usually given during a fistulectomy procedure
Spinal anaesthesia will be given during surgery. You will feel a small pin-prick in your back. The surgery will take 20-30 minutes only. Don't worry!

My husband just had his gallbladder taken out this past Saturday and was home by Monday, but he's dealing with a lot of fluid buildup and came home with a drain tube. What's really worrying me is he's having trouble breathing. Plus, he hasn't had a bowel movement since the surgery. I'm anxious about the breathing issue especially since the doctor didn't mention anything about it. What should we do?
Budesonide 200 inhaler sos for breathing difficulty to the patient.
