Can taking paracetamol help with a stomachache? I'm not sure if it's safe or effective for this kind of pain. What do you think?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Paracetamol is not typically recommended for stomach aches, as it's primarily used to relieve headaches, fever, and body aches; instead, consider over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like ranitidine or omeprazole, but if your stomach ache persists or worsens, consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Paracetamol Use for Stomachache:
- Paracetamol (650mg) can relieve mild to moderate pain but is not specifically for stomach issues like indigestion or cramps.
-
Safety:
- Generally safe at recommended doses.
- Avoid exceeding the maximum daily dose to prevent liver damage.
-
Effectiveness:
- May help with general discomfort but not the underlying cause of stomach pain.
- Seek medical advice if pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms.
-
Recommendations:
- Use cautiously for mild stomach discomfort.
- Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen.
In summary, paracetamol can be safe for mild discomfort but is not a specific treatment for stomachaches. Monitoring symptoms and seeking medical advice if needed is important.
