Hello,

It is due to lactose intolerance only. He might have developed dyspepsia. You can try ranitidine syrup for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
