A member asked:

I'm 18, have 1cm sliding hiatial hernia. also have gerd (mild). what best treatment in my case ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GERD: I would start with a visit to your pharmacy for advice. There is most likely something over the counter without prescription. Regarding the hernia it might be worth a visit to a gastroenterologist.
