Hi.
Thanks for your query.
12 year boy has pain in abdomen and the vomiting is due to reflux as a common reaction of the body to any severe pain and particularly in response to any problem in the abdomen.
This is the natures way to save the abdomen.

I would advise you the following:
CT scan of the abdomen to see if the boy is suffering from:
Appendicitis, Lymph node mass, Diverticulitis and so on.
Also see for the throat as vomiting and pain is common in children with bad throat or tonsillitis .
I find this answer helpful
