General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi.

Visit a peditrician, the cause could be anything. Children tend to eat anything they see and find, and it could be something nasty he/she ate or even an infection. Other gastrointestinal conditions can also cause such pain, and very rarely does it reault from psychological issues (e.g. stress, anxiety, attention deficient, etc.).

Best wishes.
