Is There Any Remedy For Severe, On And Off Stabbing Pain In Stomach After Being Punched On Stomach Along With Tylenol?
My boyfriend was punched a few times in the stomach about 3 days ago during a fight and he began having severe upper stomach pains 2 days later. He describes the pain as 2 knives stabbing him. He refuses to go to the E.R. so, I gave him a couple of Tylenol and he went to bed. The pain comes and goes in a 1-2 minute intervals and only lasts less than a minute. Is this pain a sign of internal damage and is there anything, other than Tylenol, that I can do for him at home?

Hi. Do nothing at home. The blunt injury causing such pain can very well indicate an internal problem with organs or bleeding or tear or so. Give him nothing orally. He needs to be investigated urgently to rule out serious problem.
