Hi

Welcome to the HCM

I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. If the stomach pain is central and not associated with any other symptoms such as fever, jaundice, vomiting, bowel or bladder dysfunction, then it is not likely to be benign. Toddlers are prone to abdominal pains especially due to gut infestation by parasites.
I usually recommend to deworm the child with Single dose of Albendazole and repeat dose after 15 days.
Along with this give healthy diet with lots of fluids especially water. Avoid spicy and oily food for the time being including fast foods.
Hopefully this will help.
In case the pain is associated with any of the above mentioned symptoms, then a proper clinical examination by pediatrician will help.

For any further questions, you may contact me.

Take care
