Hi, I wonder if your child had any symptoms before he took Zentel. As far as the drug is concerned , it is a pretty safe drug. In a small percentage, there may be abdominal pain and nausea, but usually the pain is continuous. In all likelihood, the pain may be food related in your child's case, especially if not home made. However, if the pain is continuous or recurrent , it is better you report to your pediatrician. Meanwhile, keep your child well hydrated by giving him plenty of water and soft food.
I hope this helped.
