Suggest Remedies For Severe Hemorrhoid Pain
Question: Hey my boyfriend is having severe hemorrhoidal pain, is it OK for him to take hydrocodone for the pain we have tried all over-the-counter treatments bath, it's not working and he's laying here in pain
Brief Answer:
Can but it may not help
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
he can take it but it may not help since hemorrhoids cause local pain and oral analgesic may not work completely. It would be better to apply local cream (steroid or xilocaion), have sitz baths, and soften stool. Also,if there is hard bleeding,he should see proctologist. Wish you good health. Regards
