Accepted Answer

Suggest you see: Another doctor, specifically a colorectal surgeon. You may have a perianal fistula as the underlying cause of the original abscess.

Question 6

No: Abscesses require surgical drainage in order to give the maximum chance for recovery.  Antibiotic treatment alone of an abscess, especially a larger one, often fails because antibiotics often can't penetrate into the abscess itself.
