HI
Well come to HCM
The symptom may be suggestive of some gastrointestinal pathology, that might be inducing pain and most common would be either worm infestation, intussusception, are need to be ruled out, in my opinion shen may need ultrasonography test for this, better have a opinion from pediatric surgeon, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
