A member asked:
I'm 16 years old and have gord/gerd and hiatus hernia, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Two options: You can certainly try antiacid medication or antireflux medication but this may not work or you may require being on this medication for the rest of your life. Surgery is a option to repair the hernia and wrap the stomach to prevent reflux.
