My stomach has been hurting for the past 4 days. it feels like a cramp but it isnt. its almost a hungry feeling. nothing helps except for tea. why?

If it hurts for 4: days and defecation or flatulence (releasing gas) does not help, then it would be best to see a healthcare provider to figure out what the problem is. You did not mention fever, or nausea, or gassiness, or vaginal discharge, or specific location of pain which would help the provider find a diagnosis. And thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Many possibilities: A review of your medical history, current medications (including OTC and vitamins), and an examination may be the best way to determine the cause. One thing to try is to see if antacids relieve the discomfort. If 2 tablespoons of liquid antacid helps (myalanta, maalox, etc.), then a week of omeprazole (Prilosec OTC) 2 x 20 mg tablets at bedtime may help. See your doctor if this continues.
