  3. Pilonidal sinus. 15 days of surgery?

default-icon
Pilonidal sinus
Its only 20 days for surgery to cure pilonidal sinus(using limberg's procedure) There's drainage of pus from surgical site from last 7 days, though my surgeon gave me antibiotics(linezolid tablets) pus continues to drain from surgical site. Is it normal infection or recurrence of pilonidal sinus? Can pilonidal sinus recur so early just within 15 days of surgery?
