See a Dr: You should take your son to the emergency department of any local hospital. Distended abdomen with pain could be many things including appendicitis which will involve emergent testing and treatment. The Dr will examine him, order lab tests and maybe imaging. Then once he has all the results he will determine the best course of action.
