A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on severity: A simple tummy ache with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, may be from a virus infection, bacteria infection, or contaminated food. A normal person, not on medications, usually recovers easily. Some people find that taking a Pedialyte popsicle hourly, plus drinking/eating little else for one day, settles things down. If needed, his doctor can examine to give a diagnosis.
