How Can Stomach Ache Caused By Overdose Of Tums Be Treated?
I have taken tums one at a time over the course of several days, but this last dose is making my stomach hurt and I fear I may have taken one too many. I am having stomach pain now that won t go away. Have I overdosed? If so, what can I do? I have no real way of leaving my house as I have a 4 month old and no one to babysit at 3:30 in the morning.
Based on the history you have shared, you should stop the dose and if stomach ache persists antacids like Omperazole before meals and motility agents like Domperidone can be helpful. If pain persists ultrasound abdomen may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
