In cases of acute stomach pain at night, symptoms can usually be relieved first through physical methods, followed by medication if necessary. Applying a hot water bottle or a warm towel to the abdomen can effectively reduce pain. When needed, medications such as omeprazole enteric-coated capsules and Qizhi Weitong granules may be used under a doctor's guidance to alleviate discomfort. If nighttime stomach pain occurs frequently, it is important to visit a qualified medical institution for appropriate examinations to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
