Hello,
What type of hernia he is having? If possible post the report of scanning. Elevate the head end of the bed while sleeping. Use tablet pantaprazole before breakfast for one week. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. If no improvement please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
