After I&D ? No fistula tract or fistula found during surgery

Usually after I&D wound is open and whatever pus is there will be drained out.
But if drainage incision is not adequate then pus goes on draining for longer time.
Check with your surgeon who has done I & D
Fistula can be detected after 6 weeks of I& D.
