What is the home treatment of hiatus hernia?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Symptoms: Home treatment is treating symptoms. Do not eat 3 hours before bed time. Avoid chocolate, wine & sweets at night. Weight loss & exercise helps. Antacids or otc antacid medications (famotidine, etc). Sleep with head of bed slightly elevated using 2by4 board under the feet of the bed. See a doctor or gastroenterologist if no improvement. This info assumes you already have proper medical diagnosis.
