My friend vomits when she eats and has a lot of pain on her stomach. she experience a burning sensation in her throat after she has eaten and stays nauseous. The doctor has put her on a second round of antibiotics. He told her not to eat after 18h at night. Why did the first round of antibiotics not cure the infection? You think that she might need an operation?

If it is an infection then the antibiotics may not have been strong enough. Now a hernia is not an infection, it needs a surgery to be fixed. So maybe she has these two confused. If it continues then I would go to the hospital, and get revaluated.

Dear dee777....The common symptoms of hernias include soft swelling or bulge under the skin. But the strangest part is that most of these hernias do not cause any painful symptoms.But however,if the area around the hernia is soft then sometimes you may feel pain or irritation due to sharp twinges!Infection may be caused due to some other reason.I dont think it has a relation to hernia.
