Brief Answer:
Probably stomach infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM. Can understand your concerns.

These symptoms appear in stomach infection. There is difficulty in passing gases and pain abdomen is also there.

In my opinion, you should give simethicone based drops to relieve pain abdomen like colicaid drops 0.2 ml three times a day for 1 day. Also, give prebiotic like enterogermina ampule once a day for three days to increase gut immunity.

If there is no improvement in 24 hours then get child examined by a doctor.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
