Nausea
A person with an infected pilonidal cyst may feel nauseated and lose appetite. The nausea can be made worse by dehydration from fever or the foul smell of draining pus. A person may also feel more tired.
When dealing with nausea, it's important to continue to eat and drink. Mild, dry foods such as saltine crackers or toast may be easier on the stomach. If a person can't eat or hold down food and liquids at all, they should go to a hospital.1‘Pilonidal Cyst: Causes, Symptoms, Treatments & Removal.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15400-pilonidal-disease
