What is a "stomachache"?
A stomachache refers to pain or discomfort felt in the abdominal area. It can range from mild to intense and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, bloating, gas, or diarrhea. Stomachaches can have various causes, including indigestion, overeating, food poisoning, infections, menstrual cramps, or underlying conditions like gastritis or gastroenteritis. Treatment often involves rest, drinking plenty of fluids, avoiding spicy or fatty foods, and over-the-counter medications like antacids or pain relievers. In some cases, seeking medical attention may be necessary, especially if the pain is intense, constant, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
