Suggest Treatment For Anal Fissure

I have been diagnosed with having an anal fissure, but while administering a suppository this morning I felt a pop and alot of pus which wasn t very pleasant to smell came out. It s now just leaking a little blood, I m guessing I am suffering from perianal absess, is this so and should I see a doctor again or just continue my Augmentin 650ml regiment I have no money to subscribe.

Hello
I had gone through your question and I will try to help you out in best possible way

Foul smelling discharge with blood is suggestive of anal absecess or a fistula
in my opinion you should consult a general surgeon for examination and a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin CBC liver function test blood sugar and a fistula test
in addition to augmentin you may require a course of metronidazole
instead of suppository you can take liquid paraffin as a stool softening agent
Have plenty of fluids and maintain good hygiene
site bath will be very beneficial in your case
hope this helps you
please feel free to ask for.more clarification I will gladly answer you
best wishes
