HI
Well come to HCM
Your query being appreciated, for the hiatal hernia it may not need any treatment if it is silent one, it only needs surgery when it causes the symptoms, for the ulcer it can be well treated with PPI the best drug is Omeprazole 40 mg with Domperidone 20 mg it has to be taken at evening time and it needs to be continue for six weeks, infection needs to be ruled out particularly it could be H. Pylori if this is so then it has to be treated accordingly and hope this information helps.
