Yes, but be careful: Of course there are plenty of medications to treat pain, but if your hernia is causing enough pain to require medication, you should see a general surgeon for a consultation. Pain that is increasing in intensity is a sign the hernia is getting worse, and could turn in to a life threatening situation.
