Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With the history of your hernia getting bigger and the pain becoming unbearable, I would advise you to report at an ER of the nearest hospital instead of trying any medications to rule out chances of obstruction/strangulation of the hernia which might prove to be quite detrimental for your health. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. </s>
