For sharp gas pain, try drinking warm water with a pinch of hing (asafoetida) and black salt. When my daughter gets bad gas, I make her walk around slowly for 10 minutes, which really helps release the trapped gas.

Whenever I get severe bloating, drinking warm carom seed (ajwain) water works within 15 minutes. Also, avoid lying down immediately after eating and walk for 5 minutes to keep your digestion moving.

Intense gas pain can sometimes feel like chest pain and get very scary. If the pain spreads to your arm or jaw, or you feel breathless, please go to an emergency room immediately instead of assuming it is just gas.

Don't blindly drink heavy herbal mixtures if your stomach pain is severe or recurring. It could be acidity, a gallstone, or something else, so consult a doctor and get a proper checkup.

Kavita Sharma · Answer

Haan, severe gas pain can make you feel so restless na. Try taking a warm cup of pudina (mint) tea or chew some fennel seeds, isse stomach ko bohot thandak milti hai.

Please avoid drinking sweet carbonated colas or sodas thinking they will cure gas, as the sugar and gas will actually make your bloating much worse. Plain warm water with ginger is the safest choice.
