Treating a perianal abscess with just antibiotics or i and d?

Drainage: Antibiotics have a limited role in treating abscesses. There is no blood flow into an abscess, so antibiotics aren't as effective on their own. In general, the primary treatment for an abscess is drainage. Additionally, perianal abscesses warrant further evaluation because they can be due to perirectal fistulas.
