Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
See if a hernia is painful, we consider it to be obstructed or strangulated hernia. And in that case, it should be thoroughly examined and managed either medically or mostly surgically. I would suggest you to visit a general surgeon. In the meantime take tramadol tablet 50mg and ondansetran tablet 4mg SOS.
Hope this was useful.
Regards
