Suggest Treatment For Severe Stomach Aches
My husband is having severe stomach pains. He says it feels like someone is reaching into his insides and twisting them. He doesn t have diarrhea or have to pass a stool. He did vomit a little after drinking some water. I ve asked him if it is in one area but he says it feels like all over his stomach. He asks me to rub his stomach, and when I do it feels better to apply a little pressure and in the middle of his stomach, not lower or upper but pretty directly in the middle. I ve given him a 600mg ibprophrine and 2 tablespoons of Kaopectate. Not sure if we should go to the ER. He says it feels better also when he is laying on his side. Please advise.
