Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

You are taking right treatment.
Additionally you should take high fiber diet.
You may need antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines after clinical evaluation.
You may also need local application of hydrocortisone or local anaesthetic creams. Hydrocortisone is used to decrease inflammation.
I suggest for proper clinical evaluation.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your query.

Take Care
