A good way to treat a stomach ache is with natural medicine.Yogurt is a good remedy .It also a good idea to peel off of some ginger and chew the root ,swallowing the juices that come out of the root.Ginger has been used to treat stomaches many times through history.

You can take a couple of Tums. I have found that ginger ale and some saltines work just about as good as any medicine. You can also try eating bananas.

There really isn't a great medicine to treat the ache. You need to treat whatever is causing the stomach ache. Just treating the pain can be detrimental because you may be covering up a more serious health issue.

Pepto Bismol does not have aspirin in it. For gas pain take a medicine containing simethicone. For heartburn or indegestion take an antacid such as Tums.
