HI.
The commonest reasons for tummy aches in 5 year old child is tummy-tonsils, meaning enlargement of intra-abdominal lymph nodes. These give typical symptoms like you described.

Another possibility is appendicitis.

In both the conditions patient has similar complaints. The best way to rule out is to have high resolution ultrasonography.

Consult a Pediatrician or preferably Pediatric Surgeon.
