What Causes Pain In Lower Abdominal Area?

Question: My 5 year is complaining of pain in his lower abdomen area. We asked if he felt like he had to go to the bathroom and he said no. We asked if he had gas and had to fart he said no. He was crying profusely. He said he was hungry, so we gave him some yogurt since we thought it could be hunger pains. We waited for for 20 min. He still said he was getting sharp pains.He was at school today and said it was hurting between 12-3. In order for him not to think about it he said he played on the tire swing...I asked him to change his shirt and I found him in his room crying complaining of the pain in his lower abdomen. He initially said it also hurt in his lower back but that it went away
