Hemorrhoid happens with people suffering with constipation as well if some body is more in sitting job. And many other things. Now in your father case since he is paraplegic and there is less activity like walking standing I believe he must be suffering with constipation too. And that's where he also have develop hemorrhoid as a side effect of it. But it is treatable completely. Earlier you treat it is better for that you can consult your doctor. For time being to answer your question when the syrup can be taken is best time is in night only. But if there is a problem then it can also be taken in morning but with this he will have the loose stool issue in day time again. Take care
