Is the hemorrhoid external or internal?  There are over the counter products to treat the swelling.  You could soak your "bottom" in moderately warm water.  Are you in pain?  By all means avoid constipation.  You may wish to purchase some stool softerners over the counter or a product like Metamucil.  
You could certainly get some good advice by seeing a doctor.

How does it feel?  I'm not a doctor, so not qualified to really answer, but can give some thoughts as a patient who suffers from this condition, too
