Brief Answer:
Infected hemorrhoids...

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thank you for posting.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

Your symptoms are suggestive of infected hemorrhoids. Chills show that hemorrhoids are infected and that this case is serious.

To my patients I recommend following these guidelines in order to relieve symptoms:
1. Do not eat spicy and acidic foods.
2. Do not drink alcoholic and carbonated drinks, coffee and milk.
3. Eat foods that contain fiber.

I also recommend going to Emergency Room because this case is serious and there you will get the right treatment.

Contact your proctologist to discuss about the treatment.

Ask me for anything unclear.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
