Explanation:

Over - the - counter painkillers are generally safe for common ailments like stomach cramps when used as directed. Leftover prescription pills are not appropriate as they were prescribed for a specific person (not the friend) and may have side - effects or interactions. Taking both pills at the same time can lead to an overdose or adverse reactions. Giving nothing because of the prescription is incorrect as over - the - counter options are available and appropriate for minor issues like stomach cramps.

Answer:

Give him an over - the - counter painkiller.
