Yes. You can wait. Pilonidal sinus becomes an emergency if it is infected. So when you have no pain,  waiting for 3-4 months is quite OK.

Yes, you can wait and get it excised at some convenient time. Till then get it treated conservatively with antibiotics, anti inflammatory medicines and local cleaning. Cover it with a pad to prevent entry of hairs in sinus.
