Brief Answer:
Giving antispasmodic would help

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

I can understand your concern.
Pain abdomen can be due to spasm of intestine and it will get improved with antispasmodic like dicyclomine.
I won't get worried if there is no associated vomiting,blood or mucus mixed stool,abdominal distension or urinary problem.
Continue giving probiotic for 2-3 days.
If pain abdomen persists (does not improves with dicyclomine) or it worsens consult your physician for evaluation and management accordingly.

I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more query.
Wishing for your child's speedy recovery.
Regards
