Is it possible to only take hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs after hemorrhoidectomy without light and antibiotic infusion?

Ask
Hello doctor! I have hemorrhoids and had hemorrhoidectomy at the clinic. After surgery, the doctor prescribes oral medications such as hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition, I need to come every day to shine lights and give antibiotics. I find commuting every day very time consuming and expensive. So, can I just take hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs after hemorrhoidectomy without light and antibiotics? I have done phototherapy and antibiotics for 3 days already. The doctor who examined it also said that the wound was quite dry. Looking forward to your advice, thank you doctor!
