Hiccups
Involuntary spasms of the diaphragm, usually short-lived and not a sign of something serious. Hiccups can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include drinking too fast, eating too fast, carbonated beverages, alcohol, smoking or chewing gum.
Hiatus hernia
A hiatus hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. The diaphragm has a small opening, known as the hiatus, through which the esophagus passes before connecting to the stomach. In a hiatus hernia, the stomach bulges through this opening. This condition can be categorized into two main types: sliding hiatus hernia and paraesophageal hiatus hernia.
Herpes in babies

Neonatal herpes is a herpes infection in a young baby. The younger the baby, the more vulnerable they are to the harmful effects of infection.

Herpes can be very serious for a young baby, whose immune system will not have fully developed to fight off the virus.

Neonatal herpes, which is rare in the UK, is caused by the herpes simplex virus. This virus is very common and causes cold sores and genital ulcers in adults.

Hernia (inguinal)
 Hernia (inguinal) is condition in which soft tissue bulges through a weak point in the abdominal muscles.
The soft tissue is often part of the intestine. It's easy to see and feel the bulge, although not all are visible by the patient, especially when obese.
Symptoms include pain, especially when a person coughs, bends or lifts a heavy object.
Treatment may not be necessary. If the hernia is growing or painful, surgery can repair it.
Hernia (hiatus)
hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach bulges into the chest. It can cause severe heartburn but is treatable. A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen, and the hiatus is an opening in the diaphragm through which the esophagus passes. Hiatal hernias are classified into two main types: sliding hiatal hernias and paraesophageal hiatal hernias.
