What Could Cause Stomach Pain In A 9 Years Old Child?

My 9 year old son has been for over 10 days. He is complaining of stomach pains right by the belly button. I notice that his feet are so cold, which this has never been. I have taken him to his pedetrician also 2 emergency visits to the ER. He has had blood work done including a CT scan, everything checks outs good. He has not been eating that much and he says the gatorade makes him feel a little better. Activity level is shot this is what scares me the most. we are an outgoing family and all he wants to do is sit in one chair. I am getting frustrated because I can't diagnosed or seem to help. I have forced him to go to school. But when I look at him he looks ill in the eyes. Please assist

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi dear,
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of abdominal pain, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.Nitrofurantoin 1 tablet 4 times during 7 days,after meal.
2.Charcoal 2 tablets daily for absorption gases and toxins.
3.Albendazole 1 tablet in the evening,only single dose.
Hope it helps
