Topical relief from Hemorrhoid
Hemorrhoid cream with local anesthesia can reduce pain temporarily and suppositories with the hydrocortisone can also give effective results. But it is advised to use these creams only for one week else they can have a side effect like atrophy. There is no doubt of the fact that Witch hazel is also most effective hemorrhoid treatment and it does not have any side effect too. For reducing the swelling, you can also add an ice pack around the anal area for few minutes and sitting on a soft surface like cushion can also reduce swelling to the greater extent. These small measures can give you great relief.
