Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain While Running

my son has been having severe ab pain while running. He runs cross country and two miles into the race he develops a horrible pain in his side, right below the rib cage and a little lower down. We thought he was getting side stitches but I think its more than that.

I would advise the following:
CT scan of the abdomen and relevant tests of blood, urine and stool should help you to get the diagnosis and a plan for further treatment...
I find this answer helpful
