What Causes Pain In The Upper Abdomen?

My son is 23 years old. He has been complaining all day of pain in his upper stomach. He can t lay down and get comfortable. He said it doesn t hurt to take a deep breath (I asked because he fell in basketball last night). He didn t eat dinner, we gave him pepto bismol and it hasn t helped. He has gone to the bathroom and said it doesn t feel better. He had a tetanus shot two days ago - he had to get stitches. probably unrelated. What can I do to help to help him
