Symptoms of a cold stomach

A cold stomach is also called stomach cold. There are many causes for it, the most common ones are exposure to wind-cold, eating raw and cold food, drinking, overeating, excessive fatigue, etc.

The stomach's temperament likes dryness and hates cold. If some people have a weak spleen and stomach, they are prone to stomach cold after being exposed to cold, attacking cold, or eating cold drinks or drinking cold water. The disease causes pain and is sometimes accompanied by a cold feeling in the stomach, which will be relieved after warm compress.
