Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

No, I do not think of anything to be worried about. As a routine get his stool tested for ova and cyst, and get him treated for it in case of positive reports. If his diet and bowel movements are normal as you stated, then you need to reassure him more than any kind of treatment. However, if the pain increases to the extent that he is unable to do his normal activity, then you might have to go to a pediatrician for a routine assessment.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
