Best position to drain sinuses

I have got my pilonidal sinus drained on 5/9/19 (7:45 p.m.) and got the second dressing on 8/9/19 for 2 more days, after that I can take bath. My query is, what precaution to be taken while having bath and how to clean the wound. Should i cover it while bath? Can I use band-aid until it dries-out? What is the cleaning method?
