Close friend has strong left side pains. is there anything to help eliminate most or all the pain at home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antacid, gas-x.: If the pain is in the abdomen and crampy and has been going on for a few hours, try an antacid like Mylanta or Maalox with gas relief(generic form is usually disgusting tasting). Or try Tums (calcium carbonate) and simethicone (gas-x). If this does not help, If the pain is constant, and your friend has fever, dizziness, or black or bloody stools, go to the ER now. If the pain is not better in 6-8 hours, get seen.
