Can u use icy hot patch for sore abdomen?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
These patches have chemicals imbedded in them that give your surface skin sensations that substitute for the pain in/near the area they are applied. In short, the pain can remain, but your brain is distracted by the novel sensation and ignores the pain. For short term discomfort from rando GI events it is fine. If you are running fever & it could be something serious, I would avoid them.

Icy hot patches Well generally not harming anything, but are mostly useless in trying to treat Illnesses that would cause a sore abdomen. You should see your doctor or a doctor on Healthtap to sort out why you’re having the abdominal pain. Good luck.
