This can be due to various reasons but one of the most common reasons is gastritis. Avoid oily and spicy meals as well as junk food. No packaged foods. Try to give only healthy homemade food for atleast 2 weeks and watch the symptoms improve.
Next Steps
Monitor if the pain increases in intensity, monitor stools for worm and do deworming if not done previously.

Next Steps
✅ Final Advice:
From your description, this sounds like functional abdominal pain or gas-related discomfort — both are common and usually harmless at this age. Begin with diet changes, warm compress, and deworming, and monitor. Most children improve within a week or two with this approach.
