Question
My sister suddenly had a stomach ache this afternoon, and it’s a middle pain. She ate something this morning, and it started to hurt in the afternoon. The pain is intermittent, and she doesn’t want to eat dinner tonight. I don’t know what to do?
Answer
Based on the patient’s description of symptoms, the main issue is the occurrence of abdominal pain. Abdominal pain can have many causes, including gastroenteritis, peptic ulcers, or other intestinal diseases. It is recommended to first adopt measures such as temporary fasting and drinking an appropriate amount of water. If the symptoms do not improve after rest, you should seek medical attention at a hospital clinic immediately for further examination to determine the cause and take appropriate treatment measures.
