How to Relieve Sudden Stomachache?
Many young people nowadays suffer from gastric diseases to varying degrees, which are usually caused by poor eating habits. Among gastric diseases, stomach pain is the most common one. Stomach pain is prone to occur at night, often suddenly. If stomach pain occurs and there is no medication nearby, understanding some methods to relieve stomach pain can help reduce the impact of the pain on people. How to relieve sudden stomach pain? Here are some tips:
When experiencing stomach pain, try to loosen the belt to ensure smooth flow of stomach qi and make the abdomen feel more comfortable. People who frequently experience stomach pain should try to wear comfortable and loose clothes to avoid abdominal pressure.
Stomach pain is often caused by hunger. Eating soft foods such as bread or biscuits can be helpful at this time, but avoid drinking milk or eating hard foods. You can keep some soda biscuits in your desk drawer for emergencies.
People with stomach cold often experience pain due to stimulation from cold food. Drinking some hot water or applying a hot water bag to the stomach for a while can be effective.
