Dear Sir/ madam,
Thank you for posting yur query at healthcaremagic.com
Pain is due to post surgical addhesion which is common after surgery.

Many a times, gaseous bowls cause pain, if the pain persist better to get ultrasound abdomen done.
If normal, the pain will go off in few months.
Give you child lot of fluids in form of soup, porridge, fresh juices, soft fibre rich diet, fruits.

Once you get the scan done consult gastroenterologist for further opinion. Specialist will give appropriate treatment required to treat any underline symptoms

Please revert back if you have any further doubts.

With best wishes,
