Treatment for Abdominal Pain
The diagnosis has a significant impact on the treatment of stomach discomfort. Drugs that lessen inflammation might be able to ease stomach aches brought on by ulcers.
Shock wave lithotripsy, however, may be necessary for more severe cases such kidney stones. Surgery to remove the gallbladder may be necessary if it is inflamed.
To treat the pain, your doctor may recommend a painkiller like amitriptyline or trazodone. These could alter how the brain interprets pain signals.
If you and your doctor come to the conclusion that your abdominal pain is not due to a serious medical condition, there are several home remedy options, such as:
- bitters and soda
- ginger
- chamomile tea
- BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast)
- peppermint
- apple cider vinegar
- heating pad
- warm bath
