I've been dealing with this navel or belly button displacement for the last three days, and it's really painful. Can you tell me how to get rid of it quickly?

To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to reduce the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the affected area to help relax the muscles and reduce discomfort. It is important to gently massage the area around the navel to try to reposition it back to its normal place. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
