my DP has this problem, it is re occuring as he refuses to have the surgery, he has them drained at times, most times as soon as he feels it swelling, he gets a script for ABs filled.
One thing he has been doing for awhile (since the last drainage, over xmas,about 3 years ago now, had to have it packed and re packed every day :/ until it healed, wasnt nice AT ALL!)
Is to wipe his bum with dettol after every BM. (and up the crack) he hasnt had it swell up since.
My brother had it also, he had to leave his wound open and have it packed, lucky SIL is a nurse and did the packing and repacking for him, save him some embarssment.
BTDT with the bum op, maximum embarrassment . I hope it's a smooth recovery for you, take it easy. I can't take codeine but there are plenty of other painkillers available so if you're in pain ask for other meds, no point being in pain if you don't need to.
