What is the best medicine to buy at the pharmacy for stomach pain

First of all, if a patient has stomach pain due to irregular eating or stimulation by external factors such as cold, it is generally recommended that the patient can first keep the stomach warm, drink hot water and other ways to relieve, if no improvement is seen, it is necessary to go to the hospital to clarify the cause of stomach pain, and then treat according to the cause. If there is no medical condition, you can go to a pharmacy and consult a pharmacist to apply over-the-counter or proprietary Chinese medicine to temporarily relieve the symptoms, which are different in different cases and there is no uniform best medicine. At the same time, when the conditions allow or the stomach pain is not relieved after using the medicine, you should seek medical attention again. Secondly, if the patient has determined what kind of stomach disease is causing the stomach pain, he can follow the previous medication for stomach pain or consult a pharmacist for purchase. Chinese medicines commonly used to relieve stomach pain are usually available in pharmacies, including pellets for gas stagnation and stomach pain, gastric su pellets, golden stomach capsule or Morodan. If the stomach is distended you can take over-the-counter medications such as chewable magnesium aluminum carbonate tablets by mouth. However, doctors usually do not recommend the application of painkillers for patients with stomach pain because the analgesics commonly used in clinical practice are generally non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which can easily stimulate the mucous membrane of the digestive tract to aggravate the damage or even cause gastrointestinal bleeding. In addition, if the patient’s symptoms of stomach pain are not relieved even after self-medication, it is necessary to go to the hospital for gastroscopy, ultrasound and other examinations to consider that it may be caused by sudden stomach diseases or aggravation of previous stomach diseases, such as stomach pain caused by acute and chronic gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcer, etc., which may also be accompanied by weakness, loss of appetite and other symptoms. At this time, if it is a sudden disease patients can be relieved by taking drugs that inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, such as rabeprazole, Lafutidine, etc. and drugs that protect the gastric mucosa, such as colloidal bismuth pectin, aluminum phosphate gel, etc.; if accompanied by H. pylori infection is required to add two antibiotics in the prescribed dose and course of sterilization treatment. Therefore, if patients are suspected of aggravation of the disease, they need to go to the hospital to improve the breath test for H. pylori or gastroscopy and other related tests to clarify the causes of stomach pain, and under the guidance of doctors for individualized medication. In daily life, the pain can be relieved by keeping the abdomen warm, changing the diet to liquid or semi-liquid such as rice soup, lotus root powder, lump soup and other light and easy-to-digest foods, and avoiding heavy physical labor or strenuous activities to avoid aggravating the stomach discomfort. At the same time, try to relax and relieve stress, as the gastrointestinal tract is innervated by sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, and anxiety can also aggravate stomach pain.
