Does water help stomach pain?
I often get stomach pain after meals. My mom always tells me to drink water when I have it, saying it will make me feel better. Does water actually help with stomach pain?

I had terrible stomach pain last week due to a mild gastric infection. Drinking warm water slowly did help ease the bloating, but I had to take prescribed medicine to actually cure the pain. Don't rely only on water if it hurts badly.

Yaar, whenever I eat too much spicy street food and get a burning stomach ache, warm water helps soothe it a bit. But if it's severe pain, then water won't save you from taking a proper antacid.

I get mild stomach cramps quite often after eating lunch. Will drinking warm water daily help reduce this? Or should I avoid drinking water immediately after my meals?

If the stomach pain is just due to gas or mild indigestion, sipping water and going for a gentle 15-minute walk can help release the pressure. But if the pain is sharp or continuous, please stop and see a doctor.
