Thanks for your query.
You have acute fissure in ano with sentinel pile.
However this can be confirmed only on clinical and rectal examination by a qualified General surgeon .
Go ahead and consult the surgeon near by .You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical analgesic ointment like Nupercainal ointment .
Please take stool softner like Softovac to soften the stool this will give relief from pain .
