Diagnosed with small h hernia. prescribed ppi. will it go away? can i drink alcohol? will it get worse with time?

No alcohol: PPI will not make the hernia go away, it may temporarily relieve symptoms of heartburn. Alcohol is a poison and it never did anybody any good, ever, It will only make matters worse for you. If you are overweight, lose weight. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine,
