Hi dear.

Welcome to the health care magic.

With your hstory as described in you query. I can make out that
Cause of the pain and symptomatology could be,
*Appendicitis,
*Stomach Infection,
Sudden strenous activity may also cause the soarness of muscle and its spasm.

To rule out appendicitis and stomach infection consultation with the general surgeon is a must.
General surgeon after examining the child may investigate him to explore other possibility and cofirmation of the diagnosis.

Hope your query is answered,

Please feel free for more clarification,

Thanks
