Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of stomach pain and loose stools. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroenteritis , food poisoning , irritable bowel syndrome , lactose intolerance or intestinal ileus. It seems to be due to food poisoning and viral infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order stool test , ultrasound , endoscopy along with that take history . Doctor may prescribe laxative , ornidazole or albendazole along with ranitidine. Drink plenty of fluids. You should eat light and non spicy. You should avoid food like seafood and nuts. You should take antacid after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down. You should take proper course of antacid along with proton pump inhibitors.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
