A member asked:
Which antibiotic is more effective for a pilonidal cyst: augmentin (amoxicillin clavulanate) or doxycycline hyclate, and what are the pros and cons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'd use Augmentin: Success is unlikely with either because these usually need to be drained. However, Augment in has broader coverage for the type of germs involved & less (but some) potential for GI side effects.
