Hello,
"I had a bad/serious stomachache."
Is 'serious' fine to be used instead of 'bad' here?
Thank you very much. |

| Generally we may not hear 'serious stomachache', but I don't see why it should be considered incorrect, specially when it is common to say 'serious injury' or 'serious wound'. |

Hello anuradha,
Thank you for your helpful reply.
Is it also common to say 'bad injury' or 'bad wound'?
Thanks a lot. |

Hi Learner1,
'bad injury' and 'bad wound' sound plausible. |
