please help, my boyfriend's not well...

So my boyfriend and I went out drinking this weekend, and he's not much of a drinker.  He got so sick that he was puking for about a half an hour and then couldn't stop dry heaving.

The next morning he woke up and told me his butt hurt, and he ended up with a hemroid from puking so hard.  He's missing his second to last classes of the semester this week because he has to drive two hours to school in Towson, and can't be doing that without exascerbating the problem.

He's never had one of these before, and neither have I - and he's said there was a little bleeding this morning.  He doesn't have insurance.  What can I do to help him?  I'm making him drink lots of water and stay in bed so it doesn't chafe when he walks or irritate it when he sits.  I'm picking up some fiber supplements after work for him, but is there anything else I can do?  I just want him to get better, he's not comfortable at all.

Well, Preparation H is for hemorrhoids, works great to shrink them and stop the pain.  Also, to prevent chaffing, K-Y Jelly for the area really helps.  Some baby wipes to keep the area clean after passing waste is a good idea.  You can get all that stuff over the counter at the pharmacy or grocery store.  Eventually they subside and stop bothering most people.  Mostly being hung over makes everything worse, so in a couple days he should be feeling much better, particularly after he eats some subs, cheerios and a little orange juice, to restore his vitamins.  Needless to say, don't go out drinking anymore, huge waste of time, occasionally a little wine after dinner at home is okay.
