Painkillers
A hernia can lead to painful sensations around the affected area. You can alleviate the symptom with some over-the-counter painkillers, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen. If they do not work after one week, then consult your doctor for a prescription drug that is stronger and more effective. Keep in mind to follow the dosing instructions of the manufacturer to prevent possible side effects or complications. Painkillers are not the right choice for everybody, so do your research before taking them. [3]
