After a week of using Procto-Hemolan ointment, should the external hemorrhoid disappear?

After a week of using procto - hemolan ointment, should external hemorrhoids disappear? I will add that more than a week ago I began to feel the first symptoms of hemorrhoids, namely pain when passing stool, an easily perceptible lump at the anus from the outside, I also felt pain when sitting down, even when moving, walking, etc. In my opinion, the disease was already quite advanced and I started treatment too late. Due to the fact that during treatment with procto-hemolan ointment, the pain disappeared, should I continue treatment with this preparation, despite the fact that the nodule is still left, or can I also use suppositories or some other solution?
