Rest: Try resting and make sure that he has plenty of fluids and is not dehydrated. If the symptoms persist or get worse then he will need to be seen.

Abdominal Pain: Abdominal pain has many causes. It is possible he could have strained a muscle or swallowed water. This could also be a sign that he needs to stool. If the pain persists or localizes in 1 area, have him seen. Also symptoms of vomiting, fever or bloody diarrhea should point him towards a doctor's visit. All the best.
