Several things: Bed rest, ice pack for 5 minutes at a time, warm bath tub soaks in plain water for 15-20 minutes, avoid constipation and diarrhea. You may have external hemorrhoids, prolapsed internal hemorrhoids and or an anal fissure. If not better in 48 hours of doing the above see a colon and rectal surgeon.
