If it’s a perianal abscess as diagnosed by the surgeon you consulted,no medications are going to help.immediate incision and drainage required.Dont wait till the abscess gets drained by itself(bursted) and forms a perianal fistula.,which is a frustrating condition that in turn requires multiple surgeries.
Next Steps
Immediate surgical intervention

Hi
It's very painful condition
It's better to get it drain outside by small operation, otherwise it might open inside anal canal leading to fistula formation , which is a bad thing for patient and surgeon.
Next Steps
operation is better option
