Hemorrhoid Care: No. Absolutely not. The goal is to not have hemorrhoids. One has to work on bowel habits, diet, and hydration so that hemorrhoids heal and do not return.

Probably no.: Be sure to eat a lot of fiber to prevent constipation- which is the major reason for your problem. Yes there are creams you can use but you need to solve the basic problem first.

Medications: Medications are not the optimal solution but generally will do no harm. A better approach would be to add more fiber to the diet (such as psyllium) and to drink more water so as to avoid constipation. A stool softener might also help.
