What Should I Do If My Stomach Hurts After Eating Cold Food?

Stomach pain generally refers to abdominal pain. Eating cold food can cause abdominal pain due to the stimulation of cold food on gastrointestinal nerves, leading to smooth muscle spasms. Treatments include hot compresses, hot drinks, and medication. Here are some methods:

1. Hot Drink Method: Cold food entering the gastrointestinal tract can damage the gastrointestinal mucosa and cause abdominal pain. This can generally be relieved by drinking hot water. Hot water entering the gastrointestinal tract alleviates the coldness in the intestines and makes the pain gradually disappear.

2. Hot Compress Method: Abdominal pain caused by eating cold food can also be relieved by applying a hot towel or a warm patch to the abdomen to alleviate discomfort.

3. Medication: If the above methods do not have significant therapeutic effects, drugs such as Belladonna Tablets and Wenweishu Granules can be taken under the guidance of a doctor to relieve abdominal pain and eliminate smooth muscle spasms.

Apart from the above methods, physical therapy such as massage can also be used for treatment. Patients are advised to avoid cold and stimulating food in daily life, develop healthy eating habits, and eat some fresh vegetables and fruits appropriately. If the symptoms cannot be relieved for a long time, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and choose an appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor.
