Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings
of the day
Two important causes of stomach pain in children which are not considered are
1. Constipation
2. Worm Infestation
Empirical treatment with Albendazole will be beneficial.
I would suggest you to consult Pediatric Surgeon for further assessment.
Take care
