Hello,

Pain abdomen after drinking milk can be due to lactose intolerance. However, lactose intolerance is usually accompanied by loose stools. I suggest you to get pH of stool to diagnose lactose intolerance. Pain abdomen can be due to gastrointestinal infection also. Thus, I suggest you to get stool culture also. I suggest you to consult a pediatrician for clinical assessment and prescription of investigations.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
