Brief Answer:
Could be due to gastroenteritis, gastritis or gastrointestinal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. please let me know how long you have been having such a symptom and whether it is associated with vomiting, diarrhea and/or fever. You could be having an episode of gastroenteritis, gastritis or gastrointestinal infection. A clinical evaluation and proper correlation are essential.

You need to take plenty of ORS (oral rehydration solution). Medicines like antispasmodics (drotaverine, dicyclomine etc.) can help.

Hopefully that would help. Feel free to write back in case of further queries.
