Dear Patient,
Swelling near the anus for 2 days is usually due to anal fissure, hemorrhoid, or mild local infection, often triggered by dietary changes, constipation, or irritation.
What you should do
- Keep the area clean and dry; wash gently with water after bowel movements
- Increase fiber intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and drink plenty of water to soften stool
- Avoid straining during bowel movements
- Apply mild topical ointments for pain or swelling if needed (like local anesthetic or anti-hemorrhoid cream)
- Take warm sitz baths 2–3 times a day for relief
Consult me urgently
- Severe pain or swelling
- Bleeding that is more than a few drops or persistent
- Fever or pus discharge
- If swelling does not improve in 3–5 days
For further guidance and personalized treatment you may consult me on Practo anytime.

Hey can you elaborate your symptoms. Is it painful? Blood in your faeces or colour change?
Next Steps
The best advice is to consult a general surgeon. In the meantime I would advise you to eat less fatty food and more fibre diet with plenty of water. If you have difficulty in motion, try Syp Looz(Lactulose) 10ml Two times a day. But I highly suggest you to consult a general surgeon. Have a pleasant day.
