Brief Answer: Hi and welcome to XXXXXXX Detailed Answer: First,if you have any antiacid medicine you should take it: the best would be antacid such as remegel but also pantorpasole,ranitidine, nexium can be used, Secondly, you should eat something,some easier food such as toast,rice, boiled potato or vegetables. Also,you should drink mentha tea which will relax your stomach muscles. In next 24 hours avoid alcohol, smoking,coffee and spicy food. If this persists,you should take some antispasmpdics and do gastroenterologic work up. But it shouldnt last for rmore than 12 hours,just dont take solpaden anymore. Wish you good health. Feel free to ask. Regards
