Been constipated for a few days, developed painful external hemorrhoid, no health insurance/little money, what can i do to treat at home/reduce pain?

Sitz baths may help: Preparation h, topical steroids or suppositories, sitz baths with epsom salts, and treatment of your constipation with stool softeners are a good beginning.
