What do I do after my hemorrhoid pops?

I had an external hemorrhoid show up this morning after I went #2. It had been bothering me a little bit for the past couple of days, but nothing really noticeable. However, this morning and during the day it was very painful, so I was basically bed ridden for the rest of the day. I decided to get up and go to the store and get some Preparation H. Before use, I cleaned the area where I was going to apply the cream, and while I was doing this, I noticed I was bleeding and it was very slimy. I washed it out with water and applied the preparation H afterwards. There is a still a little soreness, but most of the pain has gone. What should I do now? Should I not workout at the gym for a couple of days?
