What medicine should a child take for a stomach ache caused by catching a chill?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng

Abdominal pain in children caused by getting chilled generally refers to abdominal discomfort due to exposure to cold. The following medications may be appropriate: 1. Racemic Scopolamine Butylbromide Tablets: This medication belongs to the anticholinergic class of drugs and is effective in relieving smooth muscle spasms, biliary spasms, and can also help alleviate gastrointestinal cramps. 2. Hydrotalcite Suspension: This works by neutralizing stomach acid and protecting the gastric mucosa, thereby reducing irritation caused by stomach acid and relieving abdominal pain caused by gastrointestinal spasms triggered by cold exposure. 3. Montmorillonite Powder: If symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea occur after exposure to cold, this medication can protect the intestinal mucosa and help alleviate discomfort.
