Thank youfor your reply,
She is leaving for a trip and cannot see a doctor for the next days. Is there a risk of something serious happening? We are worried it can be serious and do not want her to get worst on her trip. Do you think that sitz bath and anti inflammatory drugs could help her while she comes back?
Thank you very much.

Brief Answer:
Examination is needed to estimate severity
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
In case of mild inflammation, sitz bath and anti inflammatory and analgesic drugs can help.
But if there is hematoma formation or pus collection, they cannot give complete relief.
In that case doctor's consultation is needed.
Let her take sitz bath twice or thrice a day and analgesic drugs.
If she gets relief, she can go for trip. If not better to consult doctor.
Take care.
