Perianal abscess in 6 mth old baby - surgery

Dear Mummies,

Wanted to ask the mummies here if they have heard of or experienced any friends whose LO need to go for a minor surgery to remove the abscess at the anal region? My 6 month old son has abscess at his anal region and was 2 types of antibiotics for 2 weeks. It receded but rebounded hence was referred by my pd to a children surgeon . The latter recommended that my son to go thru the surgery under general anesthesia. Sighhh.. I am afraid that general anesthesia at this young age will do more harm to the little growing brain. Would appreciate advice from the mummies .
