Moderate or severe abdominal pain requires an evaluation by a physician.

For mild pain, acetaminophen is best:
  • Acetaminophen decreases fever and pain.
  • Adult dose: 2 regular strength (325 mg) every 4 hours or 2 extra-strength (500 mg) every 6 hours.
  • Maximum dose is 4,000 mg per day.
  • Avoid this drug if you have alcoholism, liver disease or an allergy to the drug. See the package instructions.
  • Common brand names include Tylenol, Panadol, and many others.
