Hi,
Looking to thje history it seems that he might be having chronic worm infestation giving this pain and having pallor and dark circles under the eyes a sign of having anemia.
Give him a course of antiworm medicine like Albendazole 200 mg stat.
Give him Iron, multivitamin supplements.
Give him high nourishing protein diet.
Meanwhile to give relief from stomach pain give antispasmodic medicine like Meftal spas.
Give him light diet for 2-3 days.
OK and take care.
