Hi i just recently had surgery for a pilonidal cyst removal. its been 5 weeks since my surgery and now i think the wound might be infected. i went to urgent care last weekend and they provided me with antibiotics but the infection seems to have worsened. Also i have just gotten sick this weekend with a head cold. Is it urgent that I go to the doctor right now or is it okay if i wait until tommorow afternoon?
