Brief Answer:
Observe him!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
For now, there is no emergency and I will not want to see you panic. Observe him again before seeking further medical attention. For the pains, administer omeprazole 20mg once daily as this may be related to gastric irritation. All should be well within 12hours at most.
I hope this helps. I wish your son well.
