Take away the pain, O Lord of humankind, and grant healing, for You are the Healer, and there is no healing but Your healing that leaves no trace of sickness.

Ibn Abbas narrated that during times of distress, The Prophet would say
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ، وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ، وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ
None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Incomparably Great, the Compassionate. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the heavens, the Lord of the earth, and the Lord of the Honourable Throne.
أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ
I ask Allah, the Mighty, the Lord of the Mighty Throne, to cure you.
