Brief Answer:
Please take him to nearest emergency room

Detailed Answer:
Hi... you can give 5ml...but there should have been any small effect at least.

But if it has not at all relieved pain, please take him to the nearest Emergency Room immediately.

The other possibilities are -
1. Acute appendicitis
2. Mesenteric adenitis
3. Intussusception.

He will require medical attention and examination please.
