Hello,
If no any kinds of symptoms are there like pain, fever, nausea, or vomiting, then it is nothing to worry, and if you want to clear the doubt then clinical examination is must, tight abdomen in pediatric age could be physiological condition and not the illness if does not have any pre-existing condition, without clinical examination it is difficult to say anything but in absence of symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
