General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hey ! Possibly your son has got infection in the lymph nodes in abdomen known as mesenteric adenitis. Nothing serious, excepting that sometimes it may mimic the symptoms of a few abdominal conditions possibly requiring surgery. However if the pain persists, then you have to get your son examined by a surgeon. I wish your son an early recovery.
