What Causes Stomach Pain And Fever In A 3 Year Old?

I have a 3 yr old who has been complaining of a stomach ache for 3 days. She has a fever of 102.3 and has had it for 3 days. There is no vomitting or diarrhea. With medicine I can get her fever down to 99.8 and she starts to act like herself. What can be the causes of this?
