Welcome to Healthcare Magic
If it is in the side and increases when touched it could be muscular pain. You can give Paracetamol tablet for pain relief or apply pain killing gel for muscular pain. If not, and he has burning sensation in the upper abdomen and some pain may be in chest you can give him Yoghurt, Milk or cold water for immediate relief. Take him to Doctor to evaluate him for possible gastritis.

Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic.
It is difficult to diagnose without proper details and clinical examination.
If he is having pain on left side or middle not associated withfever or loose motion then it could be due to gas and acidity.You can try to give an antacid syrup.If on right side or radiating to back or chest it is best to take him to a doctor .Try to make him relax in lying down position .Give him adequate water.hope I could help.thanks

It could be due to some gaseous and acidity problem.
You can give digene tab or liquid if it is available with you.
You can also give soda water.If it persist and increase in severity than emergency consultation is required.
