I have had abdominal pain for 2-3 weeks. It is likely due to my hiatal hernia and gastric acidity. I am already taking H2 blockers. What should I do?

Yes, there are medications that can help with abdominal pain caused by conditions like a hiatal hernia and gastric acidity. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like pantoprazole or lansoprazole are commonly used to reduce stomach acid and relieve symptoms. These medications are available over the counter or by prescription and can be helpful for those who have not found relief with other antacids. Consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist to discuss if PPIs may be a suitable treatment option for you.
