Stomach pain can be caused by many triggers. You may have gastritis, infection, or food poisoning. However, there are a lot of other reasons that are not related to the stomach. A heart attack, pneumonia, or nerve injury can also cause painful sensations in the stomach area. If you experience sharp pain that worsens every second, you should urgently call an ambulance because you may need hospitalization and sometimes emergency surgery, may be required as well. But when your pain is caused by binge eating, indigestion, or other minor reason, you can try to ease it by yourself. In this article, we gathered four tips on how to eliminate stomach pain that you should know.

1. Ginger tea

Ginger is a great product that has a lot of useful features. Its antibacterial properties can help reduce dysbiosis. Moreover, it can be beneficial if you overate or suffer from bloating. Take a small piece of ginger (approximately one inch or even less), cut it in half and put it into a cup of hot water. Let the ginger soak in the water for 10-15 minutes. When the water temperature would be comfortable dor you, drink the whole cup of ginger tea in small sips in order not to overload your stomach.

2. Chamomile decoction and peppermint tea

Chamomile and peppermint decoctions are effective remedies against stomach pain and nausea that are used for centuries. Take a tablespoon of dry chamomile flowers and put them into a cup of boiling water. Brew decoction for 15-20 minutes and drink it 30 minutes before eating. 

Peppermint tea is one of the easiest remedies for stomach pain. Put a few leaves of peppermint into a cup of hot water and when the tea becomes warm, drink it in small sips. Peppermint tea has calming and analgesic properties.

3. Antacids 

Antacids are effective over the counter remedy that can eliminate stomach pain. They relieve irritation because of their ability to reduce or prevent the production of stomach acid. Antacids are usually used when the person experiences gastroesophageal reflux disease, heartburn, or indigestion. Some types of antacids contain simethicone, a component that helps your body get rid of gas. However, you should strictly follow the directions on the label because the overdosing can lead to stomach cramps and diarrhea.

4. Diet or starvation 

Diet can also help eliminate painful sensations in the stomach. If you feel heaviness after the meal, try to eat only boiled lean meat and vegetables for a day or two. It is also very beneficial to drink a lot of plain water or herbal tea.

The starvation doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t eat anything for the whole day. If you overate or experience pain that was caused by some food, it is better to refuse a meal for at least 4-5 hours. You should also know that you shouldn’t eat some heavy food like fat meat or fast food after starvation. SIt is better to start with a small number of boiled vegetables or lean fish.

When to call a doctor?

If your stomach doesn’t stop aching after mentioned above remedies or you experience painful sensations for a few days in a row, it is better to visit your primary care doctor NYC as soon as possible. Moreover, if your stomach pain is accompanied by bouts of nausea, vomiting after eating, or diarrhea, it can manifest a serious condition.

You should also remember that stomach pain can be eliminated with the help of home remedies if you are sure about the cause of its occurrence. But when the pain occurs because of certain dangerous diseases, then urgent medical attention is required.
