See pediatrician: Almost all children experience stomach pain at one time or another, mostly not caused by a serious medical problem. If frequent complaint needs workup.Most common pain is gas or constipation.Abdominal pain associated with fever, vomiting, and diarrhea usually flu or gastroenteritis.Other causes food allergy and irritable bowel syndrome and stress.Serious causes appendicitis and bowel obstruction.
