Hello ,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern
For getting a more clear picture, kindly give few more details:
1. His body weight
2. Where exactly is the pain- around /below/above umbilicus or in the epigastrium(upper most part of abdomen)?
3. Any other symptoms like fever/loose stools/nausea/vomiting/retching/constipation?
4. Any urinary disturbances(frequent urge to urinate or pain on passing urine)?
5. Is the pain severe enough to cause crying?
Kindly get back with details, so that I can guide you better
Meanwhile, you can give him Tab Cyclopam(Paracetamol500mg + Dicyclomine 20mg)- half tablet 2-3 times daily to relieve pain

Continue cyclopam
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for the details given
This doesn't seems like gastritis and therefore antacid syrup is not needed
You can continue giving Cyclopam tablet 2-3 times daily for 3 days. Give 3/4th tablet Instead of half.
For vomiting, you can give Ondansetron 4mg tablet, 2-3 times daily as needed
With these measures he should be fine in 3 days. If not, or if develops fever or any aforementioned symptoms, we can evaluate further
I hope this answer will help
Let me know if I can assist you further
Wishing a speedy recovery
Regards, Dr Aslam
