In short, there are many causes of stomach pain, and the situation is also complicated, and serious cases may be life-threatening if not treated in time.

The treatment of stomach pains is as follows.

In most cases, the problem of stomach pain can be solved at home.

1. If you have a mild stomachache and do not have diarrhea, nausea or vomiting, you can try the following methods.

(1) Rest until you feel better.

(2) Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. You can drink water or drinks a little at a time but several times. Do not drink carbonated beverages with caffeine, such as cola, tea or coffee, as these can aggravate the pain.

(3) Eat small, frequent meals. Eat lightly. Do not eat spicy foods and drink fruits until the symptoms are completely gone. Spicy things can irritate the intestines and produce pain.

(4) Do not eat things with high fat content, such as red meat, etc. A high-fat diet may aggravate abdominal pain.

Never take painkillers on your own, as this will reduce the pain, but will mask the original development of the disease, and some very serious diseases may become difficult to control because the patient delays treatment by taking painkillers.

2. Any of the following must be seen in hospital when observed at home.

(1) The pain worsens, is not relieved, or ends up hurting only in a specific place.

(2) Other symptoms, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, coma, fever, etc., are present.

(3) The symptoms worsen or the frequency of attacks increases

The presence of these three phenomena usually means that the stomach pain is a symptom derived from a disease, and you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause of the disease and prevent it from getting worse!
