Pain Relief

Everyone has experienced this several times throughout our lives. A stomachache is a kind of pain felt in the abdominal area or at the lower area under the chest. When a problem occurs in the internal organs in our body such as the digestive system, pancreas, gall bladder, liver, or duodenum, the pain is felt in the higher part of the abdomen. On the other hand, if the problem happened in the lower digestive system of the body, the pain is felt in the lower abdominal section. It is advised not to drink any liquid in this kind of situation. Moreover, eating and the intake of painkillers are also not recommended. However, some say that applying a cold or hot compress over the affected area is said to alleviate the pain.

In a situation where the pain is still felt after cold or hot compress or suspect a far more serious condition associated to the pain, you must immediately call for help. Keep the sufferer calm and help him or her cope with the situation until the medical help comes.

Here are some of the more serious conditions associated with stomach pains:

When a person is in a state of shock and you suspect an obstruction in the digestive system occurred, then appendicitis might be the cause of the stomach pain.

When the patient shows signs like diarrhea, high fever, and vomiting, renal colic might be the reason for the problem. When the pain is felt under the right ribs, it is probably cystitis. Moreover, when the pain spreads to the groin, gallstones are the most likely cause of the stomach disorder.

In a case of food poisoning, you can use charcoal tablets. When this are ingested, it draws the poison and absorbs them.

Another problem related with stomachaches is the fact that you feel the pain with no specific time that it will occur. The stomach also becomes super sensitive even to the lightest of movements. This brings more pain to the sufferer and causes them to experience many unwanted sensations.

We are all prone to stomach pains. If we continue eating unhealthy food and live an unhealthy lifestyle, there is a big chance that we would experience these problems. The choice is yours. Think wisely.
