Tried Enema Got Anal Fissure With Little Bleeding. Taking Sitz Bath And Good Diet. Further?

Hello,
I am a teen an i tried enema at home. And because of it, I think i got an anal fissure by doing the procedure. It doesn't hurt as bad as other stories i am reading, and when wiping, there are little dots of red blood. I have been taking sitz baths and eating a mostly fruit and water diet for the past 2 days. What are some advice that you can give? Can you give a rough estimate of how long I will have the fissure? Thank you for your time

Hi,
At this age taking enema does not require at all.
Take high protein diet containing more fibers.
Take plenty of green veggies, fruits and juices.
Take plenty of water.
Avoid fried and junk food.
It appears that due to enema tube yuo got some injury in anal sphincter and soft tissue giving rise this problem.
Stop taking enema.
Apply antibiotic cream.
Avoid constipation by above mentioned food regimen.
Ok and take care.
Within a week or two fissure will be healed up.
