Pilo Go/Pilocane/Anobliss cream can be taken to reduce your symptoms for piles/ swelling. I suggest you should plan for permanent solution to your problem rather only Treating symptoms by opting for laser hemorrhoidopexy.
Next Steps
Avoiding oily, fried food, non veg. Plenty of fiber, fruits and fluids. Avoid dairy except curd/buttermilk
