Hi,
You were on the right treatment has both of the mentioned medication at the first line drug for anal fissures, recurrent anal fissures are most commonly due to constipation so I would advise you to change your lifestyle like increase physical activity, take fibrous diet.
In severe cases surgical excision of the fissure is recommended.
Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
