HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The use of a high fiber diet and a lot of water would help to reduce the frequency of acute hemorrhoidal episodes so you should continue to do this.
If you are not able to use enough fiber in your diet then you may also want to consider a fiber supplement such as metamucil, benefiber or citrucel
If there is a cut in the anal region then you can apply the anti septic cream to the area.
The use of a mild steroid cream as well may help to reduce any inflammation and discomfort associated with the hemorrhoids.
When acute hemorrhoidal episodes occur , you can also try sitz baths. These would reduce the swelling and pain as well.
I hope this helps
