How to relieve stomach and intestinal pain caused by cold exposure

Abdominal pain caused by cold exposure to the stomach and intestines can generally be improved through dietary adjustments, physical therapy, or medication.

1. Dietary Adjustment

Pain resulting from cold exposure to the gastrointestinal tract is usually triggered by cold stimulation. At this time, patients may consume warm-natured foods, such as ginger sugar water or brown sugar water, to help warm the stomach and intestines and relieve symptoms. However, it is important to avoid raw, cold, or cooling foods to prevent worsening of discomfort.

2. Physical Therapy

Patients can also apply a hot water bottle to warm the abdomen, helping maintain gastrointestinal warmth. Additionally, performing clockwise abdominal massage may promote intestinal motility and digestion, thereby alleviating pain.

3. Medication

If the above methods fail to relieve the pain and symptoms become unbearable, the cause might be gastrointestinal spasms. Under medical guidance, patients may take antispasmodic medications to relieve symptoms. Commonly used drugs include raceanisodamine tablets and atropine sulfate tablets.
