Brief Answer:
stomach bug will settle down soon

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
From your description it looks like your daughter has a stomach bug.
Usually the same viral infection of the respiratory tract can extend to the gastrointestinal tract to cause stomach pain.
It will settle down soon.
Don't worry.
Keep giving her oral rehydration solutions and home available liquids to keep her hydrated.
If no improvement in a couple of days do consult your doctor for physical examination again.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
