Hello,

Hiatal hernia can be symptomatically treated with proton pumps inhibitors, prokinetic agents with diet and lifestyle changes.
If not improved, you may consult your surgical gastroentrologist.
He may do fundoplication surgery to prevent acid reflux and associated complications.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
