Explanation

When dealing with a stomach ache, there are a few methods that may help you feel better quickly.

1. Over-the-Counter Medications:

  • Antispasmodics: These can help reduce cramping and pain in the stomach. Medications like phloroglucinol have been shown to be effective in reducing abdominal pain.

2. Self-Care Methods:

  • Rest: Sometimes, simply lying down in a comfortable position can help alleviate discomfort.
  • Heat: Applying a warm compress or heating pad to your stomach can relax the muscles and reduce pain.

These methods are based on current medical literature and can be effective for temporary relief. However, if the pain persists, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.
