I have been experiencing mild and intermittent stomach pain since this morning. What medicine should I take?

Since your pain is mild and intermittent, it is best to avoid strong medications until the cause is clear. For suspected indigestion or gas, an over-the-counter antacid (like calcium carbonate) or simethicone can help. Avoid pain relievers like ibuprofen or aspirin, as they can irritate your stomach lining; if needed, acetaminophen is a safer option. Rest your stomach by eating bland foods and staying hydrated. Please seek immediate medical attention if the pain becomes severe, worsens, shifts to the lower right abdomen, or is accompanied by fever, vomiting, or blood in your stool.
