Hello, Welcome to HCM
Yes heating pad will be helpful to some extent.
Give him plenty of water, and other oral fluids.
Constipation is one of the main reason for left abdominal pain.
If constipated but passing gas, you may also try,glycerin suppositories.
Hope this helps you, for time being.
Good luck
