Witch Hazel, you can get it at any pharmacy or Walmart etc. You put some of the liquid on a cotton ball, dab the cottonball on your hemroid for a few seconds.  It will make the pain go away.  Do this three to four times a day. Witch Hazel is inexpensive.  I just had a hemroid and did this until it went away.  Life saver! Btw im 32wks 1day :0)

Taking a warm bath can help but the water has to be warmer then you would use on a normal base but not to hot. There are other over the counter medications but they are unfortunately unsuccessful at totally resolving the hemorrhoids. My OB prescribed me an cream, it did better then any other creams I used. But the pain is what's horrible, right!? So taking a warm bath, taking extra strength Tylenol, and using warming pads while sitting seemed really control the pain. And I would recommend you not eating spicy, fatty or greasy foods until it's healed, these foods can upset your stomach. If you have been constipated then an upset stomach with hemorrhoids, it's absolutely awful!!! Having hemorrhoids alone is bad!! But try the above the above things I stated,  hopefully they help!! Get well!! Best of wishes!!
