Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your son is having symptoms of abdominal pain. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like food poisoning , food allergy , infection of digestive system, acid reflex , stomach flu or colic. Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to have quietly sips of water or other clear fluids. You should give child oral rehydrating solution as well. If condition doesn't get better then consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics ,analgesic and antacid. Avoid solid foods for a few hours try small amounts of mild foods such as rice, applesauce, or crackers and do not give your child foods or drinks caffeine, carbonated beverages, citrus and dairy products.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
