What Causes Swelling Of Belly While Having Flu?

My 2.5 yr old son is just getting over a 5 day battle with the flu. His stomach is VERY bloated, and he has been complaining of pain earlier in the evening. He has not been eating, but has had very loose stools. Should we be concerned about the swollen belly?
