A member asked:

14 yr old had cramps i tummy and chest after eating takeout it been 24 hrs and nw cramps in the chest.... do not want to go to hospital.... medication advice required

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Options: A simple explanation of these symptoms would be heartburn with cramping due to increased stomach acidity/reflux. Antacid tablets may provide temporary relief until the situation improves. Avoiding laying down (increases reflux), avoiding carbonated drinks/tea/citrus juices also helps. If this does not improve over several hours a visit may be wise.
