Hi,
I know that you are very concerned about your child.
Paint for more than 7 days at night could be due to acute gastroenteritis, worms in intestine, constipation, gas, or food allergy.

Give simethicone syrup for relieving pain.
You can do some home remedies like

Further treatment will depend on Ultrasound report.
