A member asked:
What's a good otc medication for when you experience knife like pain in your stomach (not sure if it's from acid, inflammation, trapped gas)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take a couple of dee: Any medication that you take by mouth will take more than a few minutes before it can provide any relief of symptoms. So if your pain is knife like, it must be quite transient(lasting <1 minute). Such pains are common and most of us have them. But they disappear as fast as they come on...so do not to take them seriously as these are not related to any disease, simply take a couple of deep breaths.
