Hi...cramping pains in the leg could be due to pain of bite and surgery but we should keep in mind the other possibility of deep vein thrombosis due to staying in bed for long time too. Stomach cramps could be due to stress ulcers and I feel they will get better with proton pump inhibitors. Kindly seek your pediatrician's help for this.
