hi.
noted history of severe lower abdominal pain affecting his movement. it is best if you bring your child now to a doctor, preferably a general or pediatric surgeon or a urologist. it may be a case of urinary tract infection, but other pathologies such as appendicitis must also be ruled-out. diagnostics such as CBC, urinalysis, abdominal ultrasound and/or CT-scan may help in the evaluation process. management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
