Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain While Having Hernia
I am an 80 year old female. I have been told recently that I have a hernia just above my navel area about the size of a lemon. I started with nausea and diahrrea for several days. After that subscided I began to have pain in my stomach and in the navel area I sometime have a burning which only last for 20 or 30 seconds. When I saw a Dr for the nausea and diahrrea I was prescribed an antibiotic called cefidnir for ten days and 8 tablets called ondansetron 4mg taken 1 tablet twice a day. After finishing the meds and began again to have stomach pain which last for 5 to 10 minutes several times a day.

I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
Based upon the description , you are having epigastric hernia. There is need to examine it clinically to exclude whether hernia is reducible or not.
sometimes patient develop pain and vomiting due to hernia so it needs clinical evaluation.
Meet your surgeon for proper assessment.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
