Will antibiotics help my perianal abscess?

I had surgery on the NHS to drain a small anal abscess 2 weeks ago and now my pain is back again. My doctor believes it could be another abscess underneath the skin and he gave my antibiotics to try but he said "it's a 50/50 chance of them working". 

Does anyone have any experience with this and have antibiotics worked for you? I really don't want to go back to hospital (unless of course i have to).

The tablets I've been given are called: Flucloxacillin
