Preparation H. Active ingredient Witch Hazel. Works like a charm.
It is best to avoid vassal dilators(things that expand blood vessels) like coffee and caffeine-bearing products. Straining on the toilet can cause or exacerbate the problem. Make sure your b.m.'s are regular and unforced. Drink lots of water, make sure your diet is high in soluble fiber, take natural laxatives like prunes if required.
You are basically dealing with distended blood vessels in the anus. Clean up after each b.m. with Tucks or similar medicated wipe to reduce irritation.

Elwood Blues has it spot on, don't even read anybody else's answer. I use Preparation H suppositories - at least 3 and it reduces the swelling quite fast.
