Suggest Treatment For Upper Quadrant Pain In A Child

my 7 year old daughter has been complaining off and on about pain around her umbilicus and upper right quad. This pain comes and goes. Sometimes the pain makes her cry and sometimes, she just whines that it hurts. She says that when she stretches, it helps ease the pain. She has woken up from her sleep from this pain twice this week. She has normal bowel movements, no urinary symptoms, no nausea or vomiting. She has ran a couple of low grade temps. She is able to play a little throughout the day, but will frequently have to go and lay down for a while after playing for a couple of hours. Her appetite is normal. She is not on any medications and has no health problems.
