Need more info.: A physician has to be like a detective when trying to determine the cause of abdominal pain. Where exactly is the pain? How long does it last? What brings on the pain and what relieves it? Any other symptoms like nausea, bloating.Are you on any meds? Have you had prior surgery? Beyond these questions, doing a physical exam can also help. I recommend you make an appt with your son's doctor.

Hernia: Is there a bulge or knot where it hurts. Is there pinpoint pain. If so then a likely possibility is an epigastric hernia.
