I've been dealing with a hiatus hernia for the past 2 years and have been taking a lot of antacids, but now I'm noticing side effects like burning mouth syndrome, gum irritation, and low vitamin levels. Can Ayurveda help treat hiatus hernia and reduce the gum burning? Also, I'm in Bangalore any recommendations here? Should I consider surgery for this condition?

Ayurveda can help reduce acidity but structural hernias need surgical correction. Look for centers like SDM Ayurveda or Jindal Naturecure in Bangalore.

I'm really worried about my dad's condition. The doctor mentioned he has to take this Pantocid HP kit, but I'm not sure how we're supposed to use it. Also, are there any side effects we should be aware of? Since he's diabetic too, does that pose any additional risks with these meds? Could really use some guidance here.
