What can i do alleviate a hernia?

Rest: Rest, heat, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, can help. See a surgeon for hernia repair options. If the pain is severe then need an emergency evaluation.

Surgery: Unfortunatley, the only treatment for a hernia is an operation. You can try a support garment for symptom relief, but that won't fix the underlying problem.
