用法筆記

Stomachache is used mainly in everyday conversation rather than formal writing. In medical settings, doctors are more likely to say 'abdominal pain' or 'stomach pain.' Although the word is classified as uncountable, it is very common in everyday speech to put 'a' in front of it ('I have a stomachache').
