Answer 2

Try Tums or another over-the-counter (OTC) medicine for stomach acid or other GI symptoms, ask the pharmacist to suggest something based on your exact symptoms. This will help if the problem is acid indigestion (or burning sensation in your stomach), or irritation of the stomach and intestines caused by foods, a virus (a common cause of abdominal pain and stomach symptoms), and similar irritations.

If you have other signs, such as a fever, sudden onset of vomiting or diarrhea, blood in your urine, vaginal discharge, blood in your vomit or blood with a BM, bloating, or severe pain, then it could be something caused by a bacterial infection or another serious disorder, and may require prescription medication or rapid intervention. If any of your symptoms are severe, go to the emergency room.

Again, you can get advice from the pharmacist to find out if there is OTC medicine that may help your symptoms or if you should see a health care professional for an examination.

If your ache is lower in your abdomen and intestinal area and is more a cramping pain, and/or if you are constipated, you may need a different type of medicine, so it is important to describe all the problems and sensations you have to the pharmacist as you ask for advice or if they ask for the additional information. They will speak to you in confidence; just ask where you can get confidential counseling by a pharmacist.

Medical professionals and First Responders advise that even though stomach discomfort may seem minor, it can be a "hidden symptom" of something else more serious. Most importantly, never drive yourself or ride with someone else to an Emergency Room if you have severe symptoms. You could be injured or injure someone else if you pass out or are unable to properly drive due to the pain or other serious symptoms. Additionally, if you are not driving, the person driving you will not be able to help you if your symptoms go critical while they drive and they may be overly stressed and unable to function correctly. Call 911 instead of getting there on your own. The ambulance team has the equipment and personnel to save lives, they can start treatment as soon as they get to you, rather than your waiting to get to the hospital before you get any help.

Don't wait to seek help when you have serious symptoms or in an emergency, especially with sudden acute pain, fever, chills, or other symptoms. Appendicitis, which can resemble a mild upset stomach at first, can rapidly worsen from the infection and swell to the point of bursting. No matter how busy you are or what time of day it is, etc. minor symptoms can rapidly get worse, monitor it rather than ignore it (but don't dwell) so you know when it is worsening to get help.

Some suggestions from other Answers.com contributors:

• Take a warm bath, after your bath go take a nap and you will feel better.
• Sipping some Ginger Ale can make it feel better... seven up works well too. However, if it is heartburn (acid indigestion) do not have soda pop that would be too acidic. No Orange Juice, chocolate, coffee, or tomatoes either.
• Sometimes if you haven't eaten, you get a stomachache from stomach acid with nothing to do. You can fix this by eating a few saltine crackers. Although when you are nauseous thick drinks can make it worse, try drinking a half glass of milk.
• Place a warm water bottle on your stomach and sit or lie down for a while in a comfy position. Many people with abdominal and stomach pain are more comfortable on their left side when lying down.
• Walking slowly around the house can help sometimes in some people, stop if it makes it worse.
• Try sucking on a peppermint candy. It helps calm your stomach. It works for me every time.
• If you are nervous about something, worry and anxiety can give you a stomachache. Try doing a calm activity to take your mind off of it, e.g., drawing, crossword, coloring, working a jigsaw puzzle, etc.
• Something that helps me a lot for some reason is cooling off. Even if you aren't feeling hot, try a cold washcloth on your forehead or just wear cool loose clothes, like shorts and a tank top to cool down. Cooling off might help you. I get stomachaches quite frequently, and this usually helps me.
