What medicine can reduce swelling of perianal abscess

Perianal abscess usually requires antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and local treatment to relieve swelling and infection, but drug treatment is only suitable for early mild symptoms or postoperative assistance. If the symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought promptly.

The causes of perianal abscesses are mostly related to infection, gland obstruction, and low immunity, which can be controlled by drugs in the early stage. Commonly used antibiotics such as cephalosporins (cefixime), metronidazole or levofloxacin fight infection. Before taking, the dosage needs to be adjusted according to the severity of inflammation under the guidance of a doctor. It can be used in conjunction with Chinese patent medicines such as Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Tablets or Qingrejiedu Pills to help relieve local swelling and inflammation. For local treatment, warm water sitz baths and topical antibacterial ointments such as Bactroban (mupirocin ointment) can promote swelling and pus drainage. However, drug treatment alone cannot completely cure abscesses. If the abscess cannot be absorbed by itself, you should be alert to the possibility of fistula formation and surgical drainage should be performed in time.

While taking medication, you should also pay attention to daily care: keep the anus clean and dry, take a warm bath every day to promote blood circulation; eat more fiber-rich foods such as oats, spinach and carrots to prevent constipation; avoid spicy foods to reduce inflammation. If you have a fever, severe pain or an enlarged abscess, you should see a doctor immediately and do not delay treatment.
