What Causes Stomach Pain In A Child?

My nephew, 3 yo male woke up c/o stomach pain. Has eaten today, no nausea or vomiting appreciated, reportedly normal bowel movement this morning, no fever noted. Abdomen is soft, non-tender to palpation, no gaurding, active bowel sounds. Generally appears well nourished and robust, albiet much less energetic at this time relative to baseline. Appears withdrawn, but oriented. heart regular rate and rythm approx 110 bpm, full palpable brachial pulse. resp approx 24, no apparent respiratory distress, +5 strength globally. I have no experience in childhood illnesses, so I do not know what to look out for.

If the pain is persistent look for mescentric lymphadenitis confirmed by ultrasound of abdomen, get a urine routine test done to rule out urinary tract infection, kindly review with reports, thank you.
