Ok, here's what you do:
Get yourself some Preparation H Cooling Gel and some witch hazel wipes - all of which should be available at your local pharmacy. Use them every single time you go.
The other thing you need to do to decide if you need to go to the doctor is find out if this hemorrhoid is on the inside or the outside. If it's prolapsed (on the outside) - which makes it especially painful - you can try using a little bit of lube to push it back in yourself. If it's not, just keep applying the Preparation H.
Also, try spending as little time as possible on the toilet. It sounds silly, but the way your butt slopes into the bowl can irritate it further on top of trying to just poop.
It may take a few days before you see any difference. A little Aleve or Advil can go a long way too.
I hope you start feeling better! Hemorrhoids suck.
