Hi.
The commonest reason for pain on the right side after running or playing in a child of 13 are :
Appendicitis
Cholecystitis due to stones in the gall bladder
Liver infection like hepatitis or hepatic abscess.
I would advise you the following :
Blood- complete blood picture, kidney functions tests, blood sugar fasting and post-lunch,
Urine- routine,microscopy, culture and sensitivity ( before start of antibiotic)
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
Once a proper diagnosis is made go for wither a medical or surgical treatment as is advised .
