There are two possibilities for an anal abscess to develop fever symptoms while taking anti-inflammatory medication (antibiotics). One possibility is that the antibiotic taken is too short and has not yet achieved its effect, and the other possibility is that the antibiotic is not sensitive to this bacteria.
1. Anal abscess is an inflammatory disease. In the early stage of abscess, you can take oral antibiotics to inhibit the inflammation and achieve the purpose of eliminating the inflammation. But oral medication usually takes 2-3 days before it really works. So in cases where the oral anti-inflammatory medication is too short, and the inflammation is not controlled, symptoms of fever are possible, and continued oral antibiotics are sufficient.
Commonly used broad-spectrum antibiotics are cephalosporins and quinolones, such as cefuroxime, cefadroxil, levofloxacin tablets and so on. Under the guidance of a professional doctor, avoid drinking alcohol while taking cephalosporin antibiotics, and pay attention to the mutual side effects of the drugs used in combination.
2. The antibiotics used are not sensitive to the bacteria of anal abscess. It is also commonly referred to as the use of antibiotics is not symptomatic, this time for the blood or pus for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, choose sensitive antibiotics for anti-infective treatment, if necessary, need to give the incision of pus, combined with the use of medication treatment.
