Most pain relievers with just exacerbate a stomach ache. You should take something that will sooth your stomach depending on what caused the ache to begin with. Tablets like Tums, liquids like Mylanta or a stomach gas remedy. If nothing works within a day or two consult with your doctor.

Before taking medicine, try simply just using a heating pad. If that doesn't work, try soem Pepto Bismol. This will likely take care of most problems.
