Reflux: Sounds like he may have reflux. Reflux is often worse when laying down, so it would be better once he got up. Have him try an antacid. If it doesn't get better, have him see his doctor. Hope this helps!

Hard to tell.: hard to tell from your description. mid-upper abdominal pain that is worse with lying down might be GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), also known as reflux or heartburn. this can also include have a feeling of fullness in the throat, or excessive belching. there are many other potential causes of abdominal pain, however. if it continues, particularly with fever or vomiting, see your doctor.
