Anal fistula
My husband has got anal fistula and he has been taking antibiotics for a month. Initially he had extreme pain whenever he had bowel movements and pusused come. Now there is no pain and pus stopped
coming. Today he visited his doctor and the doctor
said the bacteria and the inlammation is gone, but the
fistula is still open and adviced him to go for a
surgery. The doctor also mentioned that there is a little pus inside. Can you please advice on which homeopathic medicines are good for treating his anal fistula?
