Hi,
If I were your treating doctor I would like suggest you that start antibiotics medication like ofloxacin 200mg for 5 days. The ways to prevent pilonidal sinus are:
- Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene
- Removed excess body hair
- Avoiding sitting for long hours at a stretch
- Avoid inactive lifestyle and prolonged siting
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
